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 ...

Legacies in life histories [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2006 Complex life-histories are common in nature, have many important biological consequences, and are an important focal area for integrative biology. For organisms with complex life-histories, a legacy is something handed down from an ancestor or previous stage, and can be genetic, nutritional/provisional, experiential, as well as the result of random ...

Genetic and life-history traits associated with the distribution of prophages in bacteria
The ISME Journal, 2016 Nearly half of the sequenced bacteria are lysogens and many of their prophages encode adaptive traits. Yet, the variables driving prophage distribution remain undetermined.

Life-writing in the History of Archaeology [PDF]
, 2023 Life-writing is a vital part of the history of archaeology, and a growing field of scholarship within the discipline. The lives of archaeologists are entangled with histories of museums and collections, developments in science and scholarship, and ...
core
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Differences in morphology, ecology, and behavior through ontogeny can result in opposing selective pressures at different life stages. Most animals, however, transition through two or more distinct phenotypic phases, which is hypothesized to ...

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.

Links between parental life histories of wild salmon and the telomere lengths of their offspring [PDF]
, 2017 The importance of parental contributions to offspring development and subsequent performance is self-evident at a genomic level; however, parents can also affect offspring fitness by indirect genetic and environmental routes.
