Female chronotype is not related to annual and lifetime reproductive success in a free-living songbird [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceCircadian clocks play a crucial role in regulating the sleep–wake rhythm of organisms, aligning their activity with fluctuating environmental factors, such as light intensity. Still, significant and consistent interindividual differences in the timing of

Post-copulatory competition in a social monogamy system: Sperm morphology correlates with components of reproductive success. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMales in socially monogamous species can achieve reproductive success through multiple tactics- by defending paternity within the social nest and siring extra-pair offspring, or both.

Does Reproductive Success in Orchids Affect the Evolution of Their Number of Flowers? [PDF]
PlantsSpecies are disappearing worldwide, and changes in climate and land use are commonly assumed to be the most important causes. Organisms are counteracting the negative effects of environmental factors on their survival by evolving various defence ...

Staying Alive: Individual Behavioral Variation Influences Survival, but Not Reproductive Success, in Female Group‐Living Ground Squirrels [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnimals living in harsh or unpredictable environments adopt adaptive strategies to improve their fitness, with behavioral variation playing a key role in shaping individual outcomes.

Differences between mates at the TLR1Lb locus are associated with lower reproductive success in a long-lived seabird [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGenetic diversity can influence fitness components such as survival and reproductive success. Yet the association between genetic diversity and fitness based on neutral loci is sometime very weak and inconsistent, with relationships varying among taxa ...
