Abstract: Early growth conditions can have profound impacts on individuals’ development, growth and physiology, with subsequent long-term consequences for individuals’ fitness and life expectancy. Telomere length (TL) has been suggested to indicate both individual fitness and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2017.04.005
Abstract: Shared parasites can strongly influence the outcome of competition between congeneric, sympatric hosts, and thus host population dynamics. Parasite-mediated competition is commonly hypothesized as an important factor in biological invasion success; invasive species often experience… read more here.
