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 ...

Life‐history evolution under fluctuating density‐dependent selection and the adaptive alignment of pace‐of‐life syndromes

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.

Genome-wide transcriptome profiling and spatial expression analyses identify signals and switches of development in tapeworms

EvoDevo, 2018
Background Tapeworms are agents of neglected tropical diseases responsible for significant health problems and economic loss. They also exhibit adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle that confound comparisons of their development with other animals ...

Supernumerary teeth observed in a live True’s beaked whale in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Mesoplodont beaked whales are one of the most enigmatic mammalian genera. We document a pod of four beaked whales in the Bay of Biscay breaching and tail slapping alongside a large passenger ferry.

To remain or leave: Dispersal variation and its genetic consequences in benthic freshwater invertebrates

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

Toward accurate species‐level metabarcoding of arthropod communities from the tropical forest canopy

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Metabarcoding of arthropod communities can be used for assessing species diversity in tropical forests but the methodology requires validation for accurate and repeatable species occurrences in complex mixtures.
