Size, longevity and cancer: age structure [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 There is significant recent interest in Peto's paradox and the related problem of the evolution of large, long-lived organisms in terms of cancer robustness. Peto's paradox refers to the expectation that large, long-lived organisms have a higher lifetime cancer risk, which is not the case: a paradox.

The impact of fish predation and cyanobacteria on zooplankton size structure in 96 subtropical lakes. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 Zooplankton are relatively small in size in the subtropical regions. This characteristic has been attributed to intense predation pressure, high nutrient loading and cyanobacterial biomass.

, 2007 Crustacean zooplankton size structure in 27 aquaculture lakes was studied to test the hypothesis that larger size structure is associated with higher grazing pressure. Mean body length of crustaceans was positively correlated with increasing Chl a (r(2) =

The Effective Size of a Hierarchically Structured Population [PDF]
Evolution, 1999 A knowledge of the effective size of a population (Ne ) is important in understanding its current and future evolutionary potential. Unfortunately, the effective size of a hierarchically structured population is not, in general, equal to the sum of its parts. In particular, the inbreeding structure has a major influence on Ne . Here I link Ne to Wright'
