Stress-induced tradeoffs in a free-living lizard across a variable landscape: consequences for individuals and populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Current life history theory suggests that the allocation of energetic resources between competing physiological needs should be dictated by an individual's longevity and pace of life. One key physiological pathway likely to contribute to the partitioning
