DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9163
Abstract: Abstract In freshwater environments, one of the challenges aquatic grazers face are periods of suboptimal food quantity and quality. In a life table experiment, the effects of food quantity (a gradient of algae concentration) and… read more here.

Weather, hydroregime, and breeding effort influence juvenile recruitment of anurans: implications for climate change

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1789
Abstract: Amphibians that primarily breed in ephemeral wetlands are especially vulnerable to climate change because they rely on rainfall or temperature to initiate breeding and create suitable hydroregimes (water duration, timing, frequency, depth) for reproductive success.… read more here.

Reproductive strategies of Lessonia berteroana (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) gametophytes from Chile: Apogamy, parthenogenesis and cross-fertility with L. spicata

DOI: 10.1007/s10811-018-1625-9
Abstract: Lessonia berteroana is one of the most exploited seaweeds in the Southeastern Pacific and its populations are recurrently facing overexploitation in northern Chile. Since germplasms are not available, we decided to start gametophyte biobanking to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/araa068
Abstract: The juvenile period is a challenging life-history stage, especially in species with a high degree of fission–fusion dynamics, such as bottlenose dolphins, where maternal protection is virtually absent. Here, we examined how juvenile male and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toaa313
Abstract: Abstract With significant surge of international trade in recent decades, increasingly more arthropod species have become established outside their natural range of distribution, causing enormous damage in their novel habitats. However, whether a species can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2021.0716
Abstract: Multicellular organisms potentially show a large degree of diversity in reproductive strategies, producing offspring with varying sizes and compositions compared to their unicellular ancestors. In reality, only a few of these reproductive strategies are prevalent.… read more here.

Life‐history constraints, short adult life span and reproductive strategies in coral reef gobies of the genus Trimma
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Fish Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15161
Abstract: Abstract Body size influences many life‐history traits, with small‐bodied animals tending to have short life spans, high mortality and greater reproductive effort early in life. In this study, the authors investigated the life‐history traits and… read more here.

Asymmetry in reproduction strategies drives evolution of resistance in biological control systems

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0207610
Abstract: The success of biological control may depend on the control agent co-evolving with its target pest species, precluding the emergence of resistance that often undermines chemical control. However, recent evidence of a decline in attack… read more here.
