A recently documented correlate of anthropogenic climate change involves reductions in
body size, the nature and scale of the pattern leading to suggestions of a third universal …

ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
selection varies so much in strength across taxa; it has long been known that ecological …

Whales are now largely protected from direct harvest, leading to partial recoveries in many
previously depleted species. 1 However, most populations remain far below their historical …

At least a quarter of the world's cetaceans were recently confirmed as endangered and the
situation may be worse as the status of many others remains unclear. Climate change is …

Conservationists must develop new strategies and adapt existing tools to address the
consequences of anthropogenic climate change. To support statewide climate change …

Describing individual morphology and growth is key for identifying ecological niches and
monitoring the health and fitness of populations. Eastern North Pacific ((ENP), approximately …

Evolutionary adaptation affects demographic resilience to climate change but few studies
have attempted to project changes in selective pressures or quantify impacts of trait …

Over half of all crocodylians are threatened with extinction, with many species considered to
be functionally extinct throughout their historical ranges. How such losses impact …

Animal body size and growth patterns play important roles in sha** the life history of
species. Baleen whales include the largest animals on the planet, with somatic growth costs …

Whether species can cope with environmental change depends considerably on their life
history. Bats have long lifespans and low reproductive rates which make them vulnerable to …
