Individual heterogeneity in life histories and eco-evolutionary dynamics
Individual heterogeneity in life history shapes eco-evolutionary processes, and unobserved heterogeneity can affect demographic outputs characterising life history and population dynamical properties. Demographic frameworks like matrix models or integral projection models represent powerful approaches to disentangle mechanisms linking individual life histories and population-level processes. Re...
متن کاملDynamic heterogeneity comes to life
I n the physical sciences, glasses are the paradigm of nonequilibrium matter (1–3): When too cold or too dense, fluids cease to flow, forming the amorphous solid-like material we call glass. This solidification occurs in the absence of any apparent structural ordering, in contrast to more conventional condensed matter. Dynamical arrest and jamming like that of glasses are ubiquitous in nature. ...
متن کاملLife Histories and Mental Health
A life history approach to understanding four diverse mental health outcomes is presented. The central aim is to begin with richly detailed, “thick” descriptions of individuals’ lives and from them, to discern generalizable features to account for targeted outcomes. Conceptual principles guiding the organization and interpretation of life history information are summarized. Data from the Wiscon...
متن کاملLegacies in life histories.
Complex life-histories are common in nature, have many important biological consequences, and are an important focal area for integrative biology. For organisms with complex life-histories, a legacy is something handed down from an ancestor or previous stage, and can be genetic, nutritional/provisional, experiential, as well as the result of random chance and natural variation in the environmen...
متن کاملMacroparasite Life Histories
Parasites and parasitism is common. Worm macroparasites have evolved life-history traits that allow them to successfully transmit between spatially and temporally separated patches of host resource and to survive within these environments. Macroparasites have common life-history strategies to achieve this, but these general themes are modified in a myriad of ways related to the specific biology...
