For decades, we have observed a major biodiversity crisis impacting all taxa. Avian species
have been particularly well monitored over the long term, documenting their declines. In …

Cancer is a ubiquitous disease of metazoans, predicted to disproportionately affect larger,
long-lived organisms owing to their greater number of cell divisions, and thus increased …

As apex predators, marine mammals play a key role in maintaining community structure and
functioning in marine ecosystems. Hence, a decline in marine mammal populations may …

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with cancer, but the potential
underlying mechanisms need to be further elucidated and include studies of PFAS mixtures …

Evolutionary medicine–ie the application of insights from evolution and ecology–has
tremendous untapped potential to spark transformational innovation in biomedicine and …

Environmental contaminants including long-chain per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) have been linked to cancer, which is a central cause of mortality in humans and …

Background Cancer is a common diagnosis in many mammalian species, yet they vary in
their vulnerability to cancer. The factors driving this variation are unknown, but life history …

When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don't necessarily think of evolution. But
evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historical processes that created life …

Cancer is an exceptionally confounding disease that demands the development of powerful
drug/drugs, without inducing heavy adverse side effects. Thus, different approaches have …

Abstract Sir Richard Peto is well known for proposing puzzling paradoxes in cancer biology—
some more well-known than others. In a 1984 piece, Peto proposed that after decades of …
