Convergent evolution in toothed whale cochleae
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Odontocetes (toothed whales) are the most species-rich marine mammal lineage. The catalyst for their evolutionary success is echolocation - a form of biological sonar that uses high-frequency sound, produced in the forehead and ultimately ...

The Deep History of Life [PDF]
The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection, 2012 The conventional fossil record is built of hard parts—bones, shells, and decay-resistant organic tissues buried in the sediments that accumulate on floodplains, in lakes, and on the seafloor. In the 1950s, geologists first began the routine application of radioactive decay to problems of geologic age.

Life History Theory and Evolutionary Psychology
, 2015 In this chapter we present an overview of life history theory and review its main psychological applications. We first discuss basic trade-offs in life history allocations and introduce the concept of life history strategies.
