Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Quantifying effects of individual attributes and population demographic characteristics that affect inter‐ and intrasexual interactions and adult reproductive success, and the spatial and temporal contexts in which they are expressed is important to ...

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.

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 ...

Influence of Early Reproductive Success on Longevity and Late Reproductive Success in an Alpine Ungulate [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2017 The life-history theories of aging predict lifetime trade-offs between early reproductive allocation and late-life survival, reproduction, or both components of fitness. Recent studies in wild populations have found evidence for these early-late life trade-offs, but rarely have they been found across multiple traits while exploring the additional ...

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.

Pheromones that correlate with reproductive success in competitive conditions
Scientific Reports, 2021 The major urinary proteins (MUPs) of house mice (Mus musculus) bind and stabilize the release of pheromones and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from urinary scent marks, which mediate chemical communication.
