A life-history theory perspective on obesity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2016 We extend Nettle et al.’s insurance hypothesis (IH) argument, drawing upon life-history theory (LHT), a developmental evolutionary perspective that documents downstream consequences of early-life exposure to unpredictable environments.

Environmental DNA, 2021 While previous studies have highlighted the potential of DNA‐based methods for the biomonitoring of freshwater macroinvertebrates, a limited number have investigated homogenization of bulk samples that include debris, in order to reduce sample‐processing

Nebula-Relay Hypothesis: Primitive Life in Nebula and Origin of Life on Earth [PDF]
Acta Astronomica Sinica,2021,62(3):28, 2019 A modified version of panspermia theory, named Nebula-Relay hypothesis or local panspermia, is introduced to explain the origin of life on Earth. Primitive life, acting as the seeds of life on Earth, originated at pre-solar epoch through physicochemical processes and then filled in the pre-solar nebula after the death of pre-solar star.

Implications of life-history strategies for obesity
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance The prevalence of obesity reflects a major public health challenge in the United States and many other parts of the world. The current studies adopt a life history theory (LHT) perspective to explain in part the root causes of obesity.

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]
, 2018 Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

Population Ecology, EarlyView.In the process of captive breeding and reintroduction of endangered animal species, it is crucial to minimize familial bias in reproductive success during the reintroduction phase to preserve genetic diversity. In this study, we attempted to identify the familial lineage of individuals of the endangered bagrid fish Tachysurus ichikawai born at the ...

My rewarding life in science [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This memoire covers my life history starting with my family's background and their immigration to the US. It continues with my childhood, my early education, and my introduction to science. It then covers my professional research included a variety of institutions and areas of Physics ending ultimately in Solar Physics.

Dispersal: a central and independent trait in life history
bioRxiv, 2016 The study of trade-offs among major life history components (age at maturity, lifespan and reproduction) allowed the development of a quantitative framework to understand how environmental variation shapes patterns of biodiversity among and within ...
