Life History Strategies of Male Criminal Offenders: Verifying Traditional Life History Patterns [PDF]
Evolutionary PsychologyLife history (LH) strategies are results of trade-offs that species must make due to inhabiting certain ecological niches. Although it is assumed that, through the process of developmental plasticity, similar trade-offs are made by individuals in ...

Current Biology, 2014 In his book on behavioural endocrinology, Randy Nelson describes 'stress' as a 'notoriously ethereal concept'. Yet, despite this lack of clarity, studies of the consequences of stress across different time scales, life history stages, taxa and levels of biological enquiry form a large part of modern biology and biomedicine.

Size, microhabitat, and loss of larval feeding drive cranial diversification in frogs
Nature Communications, 2021 The evolution of metamorphic species may be constrained by different ecologies of the larval and adult stages. Here, Bardua et al. show that in frogs, adult ecology is more important than larval ecology for skull evolution, but species that don’t feed as

Benthic megafauna of the western Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Pacific Ocean [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 There is a growing interest in the exploitation of deep-sea mineral deposits, particularly on the abyssal seafloor of the central Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which is rich in polymetallic nodules.

Macroparasite Life Histories [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Parasites and parasitism is common. Worm macroparasites have evolved life-history traits that allow them to successfully transmit between spatially and temporally separated patches of host resource and to survive within these environments. Macroparasites have common life-history strategies to achieve this, but these general themes are modified in a ...

Using natural history collections to investigate changes in pangolin (Pholidota: Manidae) geographic ranges through time [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Pangolins, often considered the world’s most trafficked wild mammals, have continued to experience rapid declines across Asia and Africa. All eight species are classed as either Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered by the International Union ...

Unprecedented frequency of mitochondrial introns in colonial bilaterians
Scientific Reports, 2022 Animal mitogenomes are typically devoid of introns. Here, we report the largest number of mitochondrial introns ever recorded from bilaterian animals. Mitochondrial introns were identified for the first time from the phylum Bryozoa.

Public Health Research & Practice, 2016 Life-history data are quantitative, retrospective and autobiographical data collected through event-history calendars. By mimicking the structure of our memories, these instruments can gather reliable information on different dimensions of the lifecourse.
