Loyalty pays: potential life history consequences of fidelity to marine foraging regions by southern elephant seals
Choices made by foraging animals should maximize energy intake, although 'irrational'short-
term behaviours are common. One explanation for this is that environmental variation may …

Causes and consequences of variation in offspring body mass: Meta‐analyses in birds and mammals
Early survival is highly variable and strongly influences observed population growth rates in
most vertebrate populations. One of the major potential drivers of survival variation among …
