Social status regulates growth rate: consequences for life-history strategies.
The life-history strategies of organisms are sculpted over evolutionary time by the relative prospects of present and future reproductive success. As a consequence, animals of many species show flexible behavioral responses to environmental and social change. Here we show that disruption of the habitat of a colony of African cichlid fish, Haplochromis burtoni (Günther) caused males to switch so...
متن کاملGrowth patterns and life-history strategies in Placodontia (Diapsida: Sauropterygia)
Placodontia is a clade of durophagous, near shore marine reptiles from Triassic sediments of modern-day Europe, Middle East and China. Although much is known about their primary anatomy and palaeoecology, relatively little has been published regarding their life history, i.e. ageing, maturation and growth. Here, growth records derived from long bone histological data of placodont individuals ar...
متن کاملLife History Strategies, Population Dynamics, and Consequences for Supplemental Stocking of Tarpon
Release of hatchery-reared fish is viewed as a potential means to supplement coastal fish stocks, yet the viability of such programs has not been explored either theoretically or empirically. Here we examine implications from life history theory and results from population simulation models to examine the relative impact of alternative ecological and management scenarios on tarpon abundance. Li...
متن کاملImplications of life-history strategies for obesity.
The association between low socioeconomic status (SES) and obesity is well documented. In the current research, a life history theory (LHT) framework provided an explanation for this association. Derived from evolutionary behavioral science, LHT emphasizes how variability in exposure to unpredictability during childhood gives rise to individual differences in a range of social psychological pro...
متن کاملMelanin-specific life-history strategies.
The maintenance of genetic variation is a long-standing issue because the adaptive value of life-history strategies associated with each genetic variant is usually unknown. However, evidence for the coexistence of alternative evolutionary fixed strategies at the population level remains scarce. Because in the tawny owl (Strix aluco) heritable melanin-based coloration shows different physiologic...
