Habitat-Selecting Life History

Fishes
Adaptive life histories emerge through their environmentally dependent effects on fitness. Those effects are consequences of habitat quality and the density-dependent decisions that organisms make on habitat choice. Density dependence for ideal organisms

From Life Histories to Social History

, 2020
Relying on more than 300 interviews conducted in Mwinilunga District, north-west Zambia, this chapter asks to what extent life histories can contribute to the writing of social history. How do individual stories fit into, challenge, or alter dominant theories of social change?

Human Life History Strategies

Evolutionary Psychology, 2017
Human life history (LH) strategies are theoretically regulated by developmental exposure to environmental cues that ancestrally predicted LH-relevant world states (e.g., risk of morbidity–mortality).

Local biodiversity is higher inside than outside terrestrial protected areas worldwide

Nature Communications, 2016
Protected areas are thought essential for biodiversity conservation, but few studies confirm that protection benefits species. Here, Gray and Hill et al. analyse a global, taxonomically broad database to show that local species richness and abundance are

Locus specific engineering of tandem DNA repeats in the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using CRISPR/Cas9 and overlapping oligonucleotides

Scientific Reports, 2018
DNA repeats constitute a large part of genomes of multicellular eucaryotes. For a longtime considered as junk DNA, their role in genome organization and tuning of gene expression is being increasingly documented.
