With global surface air temperature rising rapidly, extensive research effort has been
dedicated to assessing the consequences of this change for wildlife. While impacts on the …

Economic models predominate in life history research, which investigates the allocation of
an organism's resources to growth, reproduction, and maintenance. These approaches …

The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase
mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness. To …

Life history theory has become a prominent framework in the evolutionary social sciences,
and the concept of trade-offs, the cornerstone of life history theory in studies on non-human …

The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed
and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long‐term studies of …

The slow–fast continuum is a commonly used framework to describe variation in life-history
strategies across species. Individual life histories have also been assumed to follow a …

Scientists must have an integrative understanding of ecology and evolution across spatial
and temporal scales to predict how species will respond to global change. Although …

Predation has direct effects on prey population dynamics through mortality, and it can induce
indirect effects through fear. The indirect effects of predation have been documented …

Wire snares are among the most common and widely-used techniques for illegal harvesting
of terrestrial animals around the world. Recent research has documented the mortality …

Variations in the reproductive and survival abilities of individuals within a population are
ubiquitous in nature, key to individual fitness, and affect population dynamics, which leads to …
