Abstract: Trade-offs between fitness-related traits are predicted from the principle of resource allocation, where increased fecundity or parental investment leads to reduced future reproduction or survival. However, fitness traits can also be positively correlated due to… read more here.

Abstract: Age at primiparity is a flexible life history trait that purportedly responds to changing population dynamics and variable resource abundance. We examined placental scars in yearling Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792) from the… read more here.
