Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

Williams' evolutionary theory of senescence based on antagonistic pleiotropy has become a
landmark in evolutionary biology, and more recently in biogerontology and evolutionary …

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 …

Climate warming can negatively affect the body size of ectothermic organisms and, based
on known temperature–size rules, tends to benefit small-bodied organisms. Our …

Abstract Theory maintains that when future environment is predictable, parents should
adjust the phenotype of their offspring to match the anticipated environment. The plausibility …

There is a wealth of evidence for a lifespan penalty when environmental conditions
influence an individual's growth trajectory, such that growth rate is accelerated to attain a …

While a trade‐off between larval development and adult life span is key to understand why
not all animals develop at their maximum rate and why life histories align along a fast‐slow …

Ecological stoichiometry is a useful theoretical framework for understanding the sources and
controls on nutrient availability that structure the composition and diversity of biotic …

Nutritional variation across the lifetime can have significant and sex-specific impacts on
fitness. Using Drosophila melanogaster, we measured these impacts by testing the effects …
