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...

We manipulated protein availability in the larval diet of the wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis , to test how early life resource availability influences relevant life history traits...

...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...

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.

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