Diverting the Colorado River leads to a dramatic life history shift in an endangered marine fish
Diversion of river water has diminished freshwater flow into many estuaries worldwide, yet the effects of these diversions on marine fisheries, many of which depend on estuaries, are largely unexplored. We document the impact of diverting Colorado River flow from the Gulf of California on the life history of a now-endangered marine fish (Totoaba macdonaldi, Sciaenidae). Growth increments in pre...
متن کاملPlasticity in life-history traits.
We describe the impact of recent life-history plasticity theory on insect studies, particularly on the interface between genetics and plasticity. We focus on the three-dimensional relationship between three key life-history traits: adult size (or mass), development time and growth rate, and the connections to life cycle regulation, host plant choice, and sexual selection in seasonal environment...
متن کاملsecuritization of mortality risks in life annuities
insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولLife History, Neuroendocrinology, and Behavior in Fish
Fish make up over half the total number of living vertebrate species and exhibit a level of variation in sexual behavior that is unrivaled among other vertebrates. The early organization (Bass, 1996) and adult reorganization (Grober and Sunobe, 1996; Reavis and Grober, 1999) of neurobiology and behavior generate sexual plasticity in fishes, and these processes can be socially controlled. The ma...
متن کاملMemory plasticity across the life span: uncovering children's latent potential.
Memory plasticity, or the ability to improve one's memory performance through instruction and training, is known to decline during adulthood. However, direct comparisons among middle childhood, adulthood, and old age are lacking. The authors examined memory plasticity in an age-comparative multisession training study. One hundred and eight participants ages 9-10, 11-12, 20-25, and 65-78 years l...
