Abstract: Fitness consequences of early-life conditions remain unclear and poorly studied in mammals. Based on long-term observations of yellow ground squirrels ( Spermophilus fulvus ), we identified early determinants of female fitness by analyzing the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-019-01174-4
Abstract: Reintroductions are widely implemented as a means of reestablishing wild populations and genetic parentage methods can be used in concert with these efforts to monitor and evaluate efficacy. In addition to understanding demographic outcomes, reconstructed pedigrees, when combined with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12494
Abstract: Order of birth has profound consequences on offspring across taxa during development and can have effects on individuals later in life. In birds, differential maternal allocation and investment in their progeny lead to variance in… read more here.
