UK estuarine environments are regulated by inter-acting physical processes, including tidal, wave, surge, river discharge and sediment supply. They regulate the fluxes of nutrients …
The current paper synthesizes theory and data from the field of life history (LH) evolution to advance a new developmental theory of variation in human LH strategies. The theory posits …
Elevations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are anticipated to acidify oceans because of fundamental changes in ocean chemistry created by CO2 absorption from the …
It is essential to predict the impact of elevated P co2 on marine organisms and habitats to anticipate the severity and consequences of future ocean chemistry change. Despite the …

Parents affect offspring fitness by propagule size and quality, selection of oviposition site, quality of incubation, feeding of dependent young, and their defence against predators and …
Anticipatory parental effects (APE's) occur when parents adjust the phenotype of their offspring to match the local environment, so as to increase the fitness of both parents and …

Character displacement is the process by which traits evolve in response to selection to lessen resource competition or reproductive interactions between species. Although …
Recent work has documented a wide range of important psychological differences across societies. Multiple explanations have been offered for why such differences exist, including …
Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to have widespread implications for marine organisms, yet the capacity for species to acclimate or adapt over this century remains unknown. Recent …
