Published: 23 January 2025
...Alexander M. Shephard; Sydney Jacobsen; Cristina C. Ledón-Rettig ABSTRACT It has frequently been hypothesized that among-individual variation in behavior and physiology will correlate with life history traits, yet the nature of these correlations can vary. Such variability may arise from plasticity...

... insects, where it faces unique challenges associated with its host's caste-based reproductive division of labor and colony living. Here, we dissect the benefits and costs of Wolbachia infection on life-history traits of the invasive pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharaonis , which are relatively short lived...

Published: 9 February 2024
...Alexander Hansson; Erik Wapstra; Geoffrey M. While; Mats Olsson ABSTRACT Telomeres, the repetitive DNA regions that protect the ends of chromosomes, and their shortening have been linked to key life history trade-offs among growth, reproduction and lifespan. In contrast to most endotherms, many...

... as a framework for future studies of animal form and function. First, studies of performance should consider the broader life-history context of the organism, and vice versa, as performance expression can require a large portion of acquired resources. Second, studies of life histories or mechanistic pathways...

The results, nevertheless, demonstrate that physiological changes coincide with the divergence of life histories between the alternative...
