According to recent empirical studies, reproductive senescence, the decline in reproductive
success with increasing age, seems to be nearly ubiquitous in the wild. However, a clear …

In classical evolutionary models, the force of natural selection diminishes with age toward
zero by last reproduction. However, intergenerational resource transfers and other late-life …

Many organisms show signs of deterioration with age in terms of survival and reproduction.
We tested whether intraspecific variation in such senescence patterns can be driven by …

Organisms in coastal brackish ecosystems face not only highly variable environmental
conditions, but the intensity and stochasticity of these environmental conditions are …

Organisms depend on a highly connected and regulated network of biochemical reactions
fueling life sustaining and growth promoting functions. While details of this metabolic …

Planktonic copepods are a key group in the marine pelagic ecosystem, linking primary
production with upper trophic levels. Their abundance and population dynamics are …

Background The optimal allocation of resources to sexual signals and other life history traits
is usually dependent on an individual's condition, while variation in the expression of sexual …

Increased individual resources (condition) can be correlated with either increased or
decreased longevity. While variation in resource acquisition and allocation can account for …

Although life histories are shaped by temperature and predation, their joint influence on the
interdependence of life‐history traits is poorly understood. Shifts in one life‐history trait often …

The highly conserved effect of dietary protein restriction on lifespan and ageing is observed
in both sexes and across a vast range of taxa. This extension of lifespan is frequently …
