Broodstock History Strongly Influences Natural Spawning Success in Hatchery Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We used genetic parentage analysis of 6200 potential parents and 5497 juvenile offspring to evaluate the relative reproductive success of hatchery and natural steelhead (Onchorhynchus mykiss) when spawning in the wild between 2008 and 2011 in the ...

Determinants and long‐term costs of early reproduction in males of a long‐lived polygynous mammal
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In long‐lived polygynous species, male reproductive success is often monopolized by a few mature dominant individuals. Young males are generally too small to be dominant and may employ alternative tactics; however, little is known about the determinants ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Bats are characterized by low reproductive rates in contrast with most of other small mammals. This makes their populations vulnerable when inclement environmental conditions such as cold and rainy weather impair the reproductive success of females.

Indirect routes to reproductive success
eLife, 2012 By comparing wild-type and transgenic tobacco plants in a natural ecosystem, researchers have confirmed that the indirect defence mechanisms employed by plants to fend off herbivorous insects can increase Darwinian fitness.

Scientific Reports, 2020 Many avian migrants have not adjusted breeding phenology to climate warming resulting in negative consequences for their offspring. We studied seasonal changes in reproductive success of the greater snow goose (Anser caerulescens atlantica), a long ...

Early maternal experience shapes offspring performance in the wild [PDF]
, 2013 Both the environments experienced by a mother as a juvenile and an adult can affect her investment in offspring. However, the implications of these maternal legacies, both juvenile and adult, for offspring fitness in natural populations are unclear.

Silver-spoon upbringing improves early-life fitness but promotes reproductive ageing in a wild bird [PDF]
, 2020 Early-life conditions can have long-lasting effects and organisms that experience a poor start in life are often expected to age at a faster rate.

Endoparasite infection has both short- and long-term negative effects on reproductive success of female house sparrows, as revealed by faecal parasitic egg counts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Parasites have the potential to severely reduce host reproductive success. However, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive success have not received the same amount of attention as the effects of parasites on host survival.
