Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Mating systems and patterns of reproductive success in fishes play an important role in ecology and evolution. While information on the reproductive ecology of many anadromous salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) is well detailed, there is less information for ...

Love Influences Reproductive Success in Humans
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 As love seems to be universal, researchers have attempted to find its biological basis. However, no studies till date have shown its direct association with reproductive success, which is broadly known to be a good measure of fitness. Here, we show links

Sex‐dependent effects of parental age on offspring fitness in a cooperatively breeding bird
Evolution Letters, 2022 Parental age can have considerable effects on offspring phenotypes and health. However, intergenerational effects may also have longer term effects on offspring fitness.

Phyllosphere microbial associations improve plant reproductive success
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The above-ground (phyllosphere) plant microbiome is increasingly recognized as an important component of plant health. We hypothesized that phyllosphere bacterial recruitment may be disrupted in a greenhouse setting, and that adding a bacterial amendment

Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]
, 2016 PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Sharing the burden : on the division of parental care and vocalizations during incubation [PDF]
, 2019 In species with biparental care, individuals only have to pay the costs for their own parental investment, whereas the contribution of their partner comes for free. Each parent hence benefits if its partner works harder, creating an evolutionary conflict

Serial monogamy benefits both sexes in the biparental convict cichlid [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Monogamy can be either long-term or serial, with new pairs formed with each breeding bout. Costs and benefits are associated with each strategy. Because biparental convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) typically switch mates, exhibiting serial ...

Trade-offs between personal immunity and reproduction in the burying beetle, N. vespilloides [PDF]
, 2014 We know that parental investment and immune investment are costly processes, but it is unclear which trait will be prioritised when both may be required.
