Subsidies of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, not energy subsidies, strengthen immune responses in a terrestrial predator
Resource subsides can link aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Animals that emerge from
aquatic ecosystems can transport nutrients that are scarce in terrestrial environments, like …

A dynamic state variable model suggests a stronger effect of age than individual energetic state on reproductive allocation in burying beetles
NY Yang, BD Griffen, JC Creighton, MC Belk - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2024 - Springer
Evolutionary fitness is determined by how an organism allocates energy, or other limited
resources, to reproduction during its lifetime. For iteroparous organisms, two alternative …

Herbicide changes the role of body condition in mating interactions of a wolf spider but courtship is primarily affected by female immunity
JA Godfrey, K Culbertson, M Archdeacon… - Ethology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Animals that live in human‐impacted landscapes experience an onslaught of novel stimuli
that may interfere with natural communication pathways. During mating, this interference …

Infection‐related sexual conflict in mating behaviors of wolf spiders
Resistance to mating by females has been hypothesized as a tactic to assess potential
mates and avoid undesirable ones. Previous studies show infection with the pathogenic …

[HTML][HTML] Seasonal changes in immune response and reproductive investment in a biparental beetle
Immunity and reproduction are physiologically demanding processes, therefore trade-offs
are expected between these life history traits. Furthermore, investments in these traits are …

Cohort splitting from plastic bet-hedging: insights from empirical and theoretical investigations in a wolf spider
Z Rádai - Theoretical Ecology, 2021 - Springer
Bet-hedging strategies help organisms to decrease variance in their fitness in unpredictably
changing environments, by which way lineage fitness can be maximized in the given …

Immune function does not trade‐off with reproductive effort in a semelparous wolf spider with parental care
LJ Kirschman, L Dewey, A Gregory - Physiological Entomology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Trade‐offs between negatively associated traits underlie life history evolution. Immune
function is often involved in life history trade‐offs, because of the energetic and nutritional …
