Animals must tailor their life-history strategies to suit the prevailing conditions and respond to hazards in the environment. Animals with lethal infections are faced with a difficult choice: to allocate more resources to reproduction and suffer higher mortality or to reduce reproduction with the expectation of enhanced immunity and late-age reproduction. However, the strategies employed to me...

متن کاملImpulsivity, sensation seeking and reproductive behaviour: A life history perspective
Impulsivity has often been invoked as a proximate driver of different life-history strategies. However, conceptualisations of ‘‘impulsivity’’ are inconsistent and ambiguities exist regarding which facets of impulsivity are actually involved in the canalisation of reproductive strategies. Two variables commonly used to represent impulsivity were examined in relation to reproductive behaviour. Re...
متن کاملBringing fungal infections in from the cold.
There are many infectious diseases clamouring for attention, with varying levels of success. However, fungal infections seem be an entire category that is almost ignored by default. To raise the profi le of these infections and to show how tackling them might benefi t other ambitious goals to address infections such as HIV and tuberculosis, the Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections (GAFFI) h...
