No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish [PDF]
, 2004 Background. There is still a widespread notion that bony fishes with high fecundities are more productive and therefore more resistant to overexploitation.

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.

The contribution of differential hatching success to the fitness of species and interspecific hybrids [PDF]
, 2007 Resting egg banks of microcrustaceans have been used to reconstruct the evolutionary and ecological history of species. However, recent studies provided evidence for a discrepancy between dormant propagules in the sediment and the planktonic population ...

Intersexual conflict influences female reproductive success in a female-dispersing primate [PDF]
, 2019 In group-living mammals, individual efforts to maximize reproductive success result in conflicts and compromises between the sexes. Females utilize counterstrategies to minimize the costs of sexual coercion by males, but few studies have examined the ...

Plant Fertilization: Maximizing Reproductive Success [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 Sperm competition does not occur in flowering plants as typically only a single pair of sperm cells is delivered for double fertilization. Two recent reports show that plants are capable of avoiding reproductive failure when defective sperm cells are released.

Postnatal depression and reproductive success in modern, low-fertility contexts [PDF]
, 2015 Background and objectives: Postnatal depression (PND) presents a puzzling phenomenon to evolutionary anthropologists as it is highly prevalent and yet detrimental to child development and maternal health.

Selecting habitat to what purpose? The advantage of exploring the habitat–fitness relationship
Ecosphere, 2017 Measures of reproductive success have been recognized in many fields as essential tools to assess the status of populations, species, and communities. However, difficulties in gathering data on reproductive success often prevent researchers from taking ...

Intelligence and Fitness: The Mediating Role of Educational Level
Evolutionary Psychology, 2017 The evolutionary status of intelligence is not clear: It is positively related to various indicators of fitness but negatively to reproductive success as the most important fitness marker.
