Similarly, evolutionary medicine–the incorporation of eco‐evolutionary concepts into …

Deciphering the plastic (non-heritable) changes induced by human control over wild
animals in the archaeological record is challenging. We hypothesized that changes in …

The incorporation of conservation physiology into environmental management, particularly
ecological restoration, is underutilized, despite the capacity of such approaches to discern …

Complementary studies of wild and zoo-housed animals offer insight into behavioral
variation across a range of conditions including the context under which various behaviors …
