DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4947
Abstract: Abstract Fear of predators can behaviorally mediate prey population dynamics, particularly when predation risk influences reproductive investment. However, the costs of reproductive investment may mitigate predation risk aversion relative to periods when the link between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3791
Abstract: Climate change has already had wide-ranging effects on populations, including shifts in species' ranges, phenology, and body size. While some common patterns have emerged, the direction and magnitude of responses vary extensively among populations as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcz.2016.12.002
Abstract: Abstract Comparisons between populations that differ in resource availability and in environmental variables affecting the intensity of male–male competition allow insights into the mechanisms shaping reproductive allocation. Here, we studied inter-population variation in male investments… read more here.

Impact of rising temperature on reproductive investment in a capital breeder: The lesser sandeel

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2016.09.014
Abstract: Capital breeding, whereby adult's build-up energy reserves at times when food is abundant in order to invest in reproduction during a time of low prey availability, is common in seasonal environments. A dependence on stored… read more here.

Early social and ecological experience triggers divergent reproductive investment strategies in a cooperative breeder

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-67294-x
Abstract: Unlike eusocial systems, which are characterized by reproductive division of labour, cooperative breeders were predicted not to exhibit any reproductive specialization early in life. Nevertheless, also cooperative breeders face a major life-history decision between dispersal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoac034
Abstract: Abstract One of the factors facilitating the expansion and proliferation of wild boar Sus scrofa is the plasticity of its reproductive biology. Nevertheless, the real influence of maternal and environmental factors on number and sex… read more here.

Genetic Variation in Reproductive Investment Across an Ephemerality Gradient in Daphnia pulex

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac121
Abstract: Abstract Species across the tree of life can switch between asexual and sexual reproduction. In facultatively sexual species, the ability to switch between reproductive modes is often environmentally dependent and subject to local adaptation. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13982
Abstract: Abstract Life‐history strategies differ with respect to investment in current versus ‘future’ reproduction, but when is this future? Under the novel ‘temporality in reproductive investment hypothesis’, we postulate variation should exist in the time frame… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15207
Abstract: Reproductive investment is a central life history variable that influences all aspects of life. Hormones coordinate reproduction in multicellular organisms, but the mechanisms controlling the collective reproductive investment of social insects are largely unexplored. One… read more here.
