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 ...

Oxidative Stress Is a Potential Cost of Synchronous Nesting in Olive Ridley Sea Turtles

Antioxidants, 2022
Olive ridley sea turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, exhibit a polymorphic reproductive behavior, nesting solitarily or in mass aggregations termed “arribadas”, where thousands of individuals nest synchronously.

How might life history theory contribute to life course theory? [PDF]

Advances in Life Course Research, 2019
In this commentary, we consider how evolutionary biology’s life history theory (LHT) can be integrated with life course theorizing, to the benefit of both endeavors. We highlight areas where it can add value to existing work in life course theory (LCT), focusing on: how it can add an extra level of explanation, which may be helpful in understanding why

The importance of population growth and regulation in human life history evolution. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Explaining the evolution of human life history traits remains an important challenge for evolutionary anthropologists. Progress is hindered by a poor appreciation of how demographic factors affect the action of natural selection.

Human security and the rise of the social [PDF]

, 2011
As the concept of human security has become part of the mainstream discourse of international politics it should be no surprise that both realist and critical approaches to international theory have found the agenda wanting.

Toward a metabolic theory of life history [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
SignificanceData and theory reveal how organisms allocate metabolic energy to components of the life history that determine fitness. In each generation, animals take up biomass energy from the environment and expend it on survival, growth, and reproduction.

Negative phenotypic and genetic associations between copulation duration and longevity in male seed beetles [PDF]

, 2009
Reproduction can be costly and is predicted to trade-off against other characters. However, while these trade-offs are well documented for females, there has been less focus on aspects of male reproduction.

From Cosmos to Intelligent Life: The Four Ages of Astrobiology

, 2012
The history of life on Earth and in other potential life-bearing planetary platforms is deeply linked to the history of the universe. Since life as we know it relies on chemical elements forged in dying heavy stars, the universe needs to be old enough ...

Early-Life Stressors, Personality Development, and Fast Life Strategies: An Evolutionary Perspective on Malevolent Personality Features

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Life history theory posits that behavioral adaptation to various environmental (ecological and/or social) conditions encountered during childhood is regulated by a wide variety of different traits resulting in various behavioral strategies. Unpredictable
