Predictors, Costs, and Consequences of Larval Tapeworm Infection in Geladas (Theropithecus gelada).
… to primate evolution, contributing to major life history tradeoffs with other processes critical to reproductive success and survival. I investigate how infection with the tapeworm Taenia serialis affects geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia. After …

Ecological Causes of Life History Variation Tested by Meta-analysis, Comparison, and Experimental Approaches
<p>The ecological causes of life history variation among taxa and the arrangement of such variation along geographic gradients is enigmatic despite the proximity of life history traits to fitness and implications for understanding basic and applied population ecology. One classic explanation for …

Corticosterone as a mediator of the tradeoff between survival and reproduction
<p>Organisms cannot simultaneously maximize their investment in survival and reproductive success, thus these traits are said to trade off against one another. The physiological mechanisms that help guide these investment decisions are not fully understood. Stress-induced corticosterone is a strong …
