The relation between maternal phenotype and offspring size, explained by overhead material costs of reproduction
I Filin - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2015 - Elsevier
Variation in offspring size with female size and other aspects of the maternal phenotype is
commonly observed and taxonomically widespread. However, life history theory predicts …

Examining growth rate and starvation endurance in pit‐building antlions from M editerranean and desert regions
Stressful or stochastic environments may have significant selective effects, leading to
increased plasticity or stress resistance. Starvation is a type of stress commonly encountered …
