Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Most insect communities are composed of evolutionarily diverse lineages, but detailed phylogenetic analyses of whole communities are lacking, in particular in species-rich tropical faunas.

Libraries of life: Using life history books with depressed care home residents [PDF]
, 2006 Depression is a common, and often undetected, psychiatric disorder in geriatric care home residents 1,2. Reminiscence, an independent nursing therapy used by a variety of health and social care professionals, can prevent or reduce depression 14.

Toward a metabolic theory of life history
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Data and theory reveal how organisms allocate metabolic energy to components of the life history that determine fitness. In each generation, animals take up biomass energy from the environment and expend it on survival, growth, and ...

Wellcome Open Research, 2022 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ischnura elegans (the blue-tailed damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence is 1,723 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.55%) is scaffolded into 14

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018 We present a novel perspective on life‐history evolution that combines recent theoretical advances in fluctuating density‐dependent selection with the notion of pace‐of‐life syndromes (POLSs) in behavioural ecology.

Metabolic rate evolves rapidly and in parallel with the pace of life history
Nature Communications, 2018 Metabolic rates and life history strategies are both thought to set the “pace of life”, but whether they evolve in tandem is not well understood. Here, using a common garden experiment that compares replicate paired populations, we show that Trinidadian ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Variation in dispersal capacity may influence population genetic variation and relatedness of freshwater animals thus demonstrating how life‐history traits influence patterns and processes that in turn influence biodiversity. The majority of studies have
