Life History Strategies

, 2016
Life history theory posits organisms face tradeoffs in how they allocate resources to reproduction, parenting, and growth. These patterns of resource allocation can be classified more broadly into life history strategies, which vary on a continuum from fast to slow.

Life history traits and climate change

, 2023
Organismal life histories are products of evolution. Complex interplay between organisms and their biotic and abiotic environments has molded species’ and populations’ life histories so that their fitness is maximised within the constraints set by their ...

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 ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

2,366 new mitochondrial genomes with preliminary identification and phylogeny of >5,500 putative species of beetles

Scientific Data
Mitochondrial genomes are a powerful marker for phylogenetics and biodiversity studies, but remain to be sequenced for the great majority of invertebrate species. We provide a reference set of newly sequenced mitogenomes and corresponding high-resolution

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Transcriptomic evidence for visual adaptation during the aquatic to terrestrial metamorphosis in leopard frogs

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 ...

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.
