Males and females differ in their reproductive strategies. Accordingly, sexually dimorphic optima in the allocation of resources to reproduction should select for sex-specific life histories, including sex-specific resolution of the key trade-off between reproduction and longevity. While males are expected to increase reproductive effort with increasing age under sexual selection theory, female...

Life-history theory predicts trade-offs between reproductive and survival traits such that different strategies or environmental constraints may yield comparable lifetime reproductive success among conspecifics. Food availability is one of the most important environmental factors shaping developmental processes. It notably affects key life-history components such as reproduction and survival pr...

objective: in recent years, humman papilomaviruses (hpv) infection is the most common type of sexual trasmitted diseases (std) in majority of countries. it's a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. in this study, we aimed to compare the history of reproductive disease between two groups of iranian women with and without hpv infection through colposcopy precedure. materials an...

The basic reproductive number, R(0), and the effective reproductive number, R, are commonly used in mathematical epidemiology as summary statistics for the size and controllability of epidemics. However, these commonly used reproductive numbers can be misleading when applied to predict pathogen evolution because they do not incorporate the impact of the timing of events in the life-history cycl...
