Life-history theory explains childhood moral development.
Infants understand harm and fairness in third-party situations and yet children require years of development before they apply this understanding to their own interactions with others. We suggest that the delay is explained by a life-history analysis of when behaving morally becomes beneficial. The human species is characterized by an extended period of juvenile dependence during which cooperat...
متن کاملLatitudinal and voltinism compensation shape thermal reaction norms for growth rate.
Latitudinal variation in thermal reaction norms of key fitness traits may inform about the response of populations to climate warming, yet their adaptive nature and evolutionary potential are poorly known. We assessed the contribution of quantitative genetic, neutral genetic and environmental effects to thermal reaction norms of growth rate for populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans. Amo...
متن کاملGenomic divergence, introduction history and latitudinal adaptation of grass carp
4 1 Understanding the genomic signatures of population differentiation is fundamental to obtain a 4 2 comprehensive view of the evolutionary process of organisms. Grass carp is one of the most 4 3 important fish species in the world due to its significant value in aquaculture and worldwide 4 4 vegetation biocontrol. However, little is known about the contemporary population structure 4 5 and al...
متن کاملOptimal defense theory explains deviations from latitudinal herbivory defense hypothesis.
The latitudinal herbivory defense hypothesis (LHDH) postulates that the prevalence of species interactions, including herbivory, is greater at lower latitudes, leading to selection for increased levels of plant defense. While latitudinal defense clines may be caused by spatial variation in herbivore pressure, optimal defense theory predicts that clines could also be caused by ecogeographic vari...
متن کاملClimate change and latitudinal patterns of intertidal thermal stress.
The interaction of climate and the timing of low tides along the West Coast of the United States creates a complex mosaic of thermal environments, in which northern sites can be more thermally stressful than southern sites. Thus, climate change may not lead to a poleward shift in the distribution of intertidal organisms, as has been proposed, but instead will likely cause localized extinctions ...
