Evolution of sex-specific pace-of-life syndromes: genetic architecture and physiological mechanisms
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2462-1
Abstract: Sex differences in life history, physiology, and behavior are nearly ubiquitous across taxa, owing to sex-specific selection that arises from different reproductive strategies of the sexes. The pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis predicts that most variation… read more here.

Integration of physiology, behaviour and life history traits: personality and pace of life in a marine gastropod

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.03.009
Abstract: Attempts to unravel the proximate and ultimate causes of individual behavioural and life history variation have often pointed to predicted correlations between behavioural, physiological and life history traits, forming pace-of-life syndromes (POLS). The POLS hypothesis… read more here.

Faster, harder, greener? Empirical evidence on the role of the individual Pace of Life for productivity and pro-environmental behavior

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2021.107212
Abstract: Abstract Against the background of the current “Speed-Up Society,” which seems to foster a trade-off between economic success and climate change, we study whether the individual Pace of Life is associated with productivity and pro-environmental… read more here.

Palaeohistology reveals a slow pace of life for the dwarfed Sicilian elephant

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02192-4
Abstract: The 1-m-tall dwarf elephant Palaeoloxodon falconeri from the Pleistocene of Sicily (Italy) is an extreme example of insular dwarfism and epitomizes the Island Rule. Based on scaling of life-history (LH) traits with body mass, P.… read more here.

Sex-specific pace-of-life syndromes

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arz055
Abstract: The pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis considers an animal’s behavior, physiology, and life history as nonindependent components of a single integrated phenotype. However, frequent deviations from the expected correlations between POLS traits suggest that these relationships… read more here.

A fast pace-of-life is traded off against a high thermal performance

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2414
Abstract: The integration of life-history, behavioural and physiological traits into a ‘pace-of-life syndrome’ is a powerful concept in understanding trait variation in nature. Yet, mechanisms maintaining variation in ‘pace-of-life’ are not well understood. We tested whether… read more here.

Thermal physiology: A new dimension of the pace‐of‐life syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Animal Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12718
Abstract: Current syndrome research focuses primarily on behaviour with few incorporating components of physiology. One such syndrome is the pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) which describes covariation between behaviour, metabolism, immunity, hormonal response, and life-history traits. Despite the… read more here.

Seasonal environments drive convergent evolution of a faster pace-of-life in tropical butterflies.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13626
Abstract: New ecological niches that may arise due to climate change can trigger diversification, but their colonisation often requires adaptations in a suite of life-history traits. We test this hypothesis in species-rich Mycalesina butterflies that have… read more here.

Telomere length positively correlates with pace‐of‐life in a sex‐ and cohort‐specific way and elongates with age in a wild mammal

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16533
Abstract: Understanding ageing and the diversity of life histories is a cornerstone in biology. Telomeres, the protecting caps of chromosomes, are thought to be involved in ageing, cancer risks and life‐history strategies. They shorten with cell… read more here.

Abstract: Against the background of the speed-accuracy trade-off, we explored whether the Pace of Life can be used to identify heterogeneity in the strategy to place more weight on either fast or accurate accomplishments. The Pace… read more here.
