Parasite evolution and life history theory. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2010 As a group, parasites are extraordinarily diverse. Even closely related parasites may behave very differently, infecting different host species, causing different pathologies, or infecting different tissues. For example, Escherichia coli bacteria, a typically harmless inhabitant of the human gut, can, in different forms, cause diarrhea, intestinal ...

Life history theory and social psychology. [PDF]
Front Evol Neurosci, 2012 While occupying a relatively brief space in the history of scientific inquiry, many social psychologists have nonetheless recognized the need to integrate the field’s myriad findings into a coherent, meta-theoretical framework. Chester et al. (2012), consistent with the spirit of this movement, have answered this call by utilizing a Life History Theory

The interactive effect between economic uncertainty and life history strategy on corrupt intentions: a life history theory approach [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionWhy do some people show more corruption when facing uncertain environment? The present study aimed to give a plausible answer from an evolutionary perspective: this might be rooted in people’s different life history strategies (slow vs. fast).

Life History Theory and Exploitative Strategies [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2016 Exploitative strategies involve depriving others of resources while enhancing one’s own. Life history theory suggests that there are individual differences (life history strategy) and environmental characteristics (life history contingencies [LHCs]) that

Evolution, Complexity, and Life History Theory [PDF]
Biological Theory, 2023 Abstract In this article, we revisit the longstanding debate of whether there is a pattern in the evolution of organisms towards greater complexity, and how this hypothesis could be tested using an interdisciplinary lens. We argue that this debate remains alive today due to the lack of a quantitative measure of complexity that is related to ...

Unification theory of optimal life histories and linear demographic models in internal stochasticity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Life history of organisms is exposed to uncertainty generated by internal and external stochasticities. Internal stochasticity is generated by the randomness in each individual life history, such as randomness in food intake, genetic character and size ...
