Differential allocation revisited: When should mate quality affect parental investment?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Differential allocation (DA) is the adaptive adjustment of reproductive investment (up or down) according to partner quality. A lack of theoretical treatments has led to some confusion in the interpretation of DA in the ... -
Ecological modeling of metabolic rates predicts diverging optima across food abundances
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Genetically based variation in metabolic rates of resting animals (RMR) suggests a potential role for evolutionary adaptations, but mechanistic models yielding evolutionary predictions are lacking. Here I utilize the ... -
Non-autosomal genetic variation in carotenoid coloration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Carotenoid-based coloration plays an important role in signaling, is often sexually dimorphic, and is potentially subject to directional and/or sex-specific selection. To understand the evolutionary dynamics of such color ... -
On the relationship between ontogenetic and static allometry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Ontogenetic and static allometries describe how a character changes in size when the size of the organism changes during ontogeny and among individuals measured at the same developmental stage, respectively. Understanding ... -
Spatial scales of population synchrony in predator-prey systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many species show synchronous fluctuations in population size over large geographical areas, which are likely to increase their regional extinction risk. Here we examine how the degree of spatial synchrony in population ...
