Individual variation in survival probability due to differential responses to early‐life
environmental conditions is important in the evolution of life histories and senescence. A …

The increasing adoption of wireless sensor network technology in a variety of applications,
from agricultural to volcanic monitoring, has demonstrated their ability to gather data with …

Pathogen‐mediated selection is thought to maintain the extreme diversity in the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, operating through the heterozygote advantage …

Early‐life environmental conditions can provide a source of individual variation in life‐history
strategies and senescence patterns. Conditions experienced in early life can be quantified …
