DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3642
Abstract: Understanding habitat quality is central to understanding the distributions of species on the landscape, as well as to conserving and restoring at-risk species. Although it is well-known that many species require different resources throughout their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2639
Abstract: Population-wide outcomes such as abundance, reproductive output, or mean survival can be stabilized by non-synchronous variation in the performance of individuals or subpopulations. Such "portfolio effects" have been increasingly documented at the scale of subpopulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10508-016-0765-8
Abstract: The sexually antagonistic gene hypothesis (SAGH) for male androphilia posits that genes associated with androphilia (i.e., sexual attraction to adult males) will result in lowered reproduction when present in males, but increased reproduction when present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2020.104453
Abstract: Abstract Reducing the reproductive output of an invasive weed using biocontrol can result in a decrease in population density and help control the spread of the weed. Two biocontrol agents, a stem gall fly, Procecidochares… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cropro.2018.01.009
Abstract: Abstract Insecticide resistance is a ubiquitous consequence in arthropod pest species subjected to insecticide use in agricultural fields. The widespread use of insecticides also allows selection of insecticide resistance among non-target arthropod species, such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.03.059
Abstract: Polyandry has been studied in many species, especially birds [1]. Exclusively fraternal polyandry (several full or half-brothers with one unrelated female) is only known in human societies [2, 3], in which it is an important… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.zool.2020.125816
Abstract: Reproductive traits vary widely within and among snake species, and are influenced by a range of factors. However, additional studies are needed on several species, especially on tropical snake faunas, to fully understand the patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icad042
Abstract: Reproduction and self-maintenance are energetically costly activities involved in classic life history trade-offs. However, few studies have measured the responses of wild organisms to simultaneous changes in reproductive and self-maintenance costs, which may have interactive… read more here.
