Social adversity, particularly early in life, can cause lifelong damage to health; by now,
numerous studies examine this relationship in non-human species, producing some …

When viewed through the all-encompassing lens of biology interacting with environment, we
are nothing more than the cumulative luck we have been handed, with the luck of early life …

The costs and benefits of group living are also reflected in intraspecific variation in group
size. Yet, little is known about general patterns of fitness consequences of this variation. We …

Exposure to adversity during early life is linked to lasting detrimental effects on evolutionary
