Increased mortality from fishing is expected to favor faster life histories, realized through
earlier maturation, increased reproductive investment, and reduced postmaturation growth …

Modeling of body growth forms an essential part of many fisheries stock assessments.
Growth influences population dynamics through its effects on lifetime patterns of biomass …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have increasingly been used as a basis for
combining capture–recapture data types with variable levels of individual identity …

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) is increasingly recognized as a mechanism by which
organisms can respond to environments that change across generations. Although recent …

Temperature is one of the most important environmental variables in the life of organisms. It
shapes physiology, life history, ecology, and community structure. This chapter explores how …

As the climate changes at an unprecedented rate, rising temperatures will have complicated
consequences for organisms. Ectotherms are particularly vulnerable because rely directly …

Ectotherm growth is inextricably linked to both temperature and other aspects of life history.
In this dissertation, I leverage life history and bioenergetics theory to (1) justify and …

Community-induced phenotypically plastic traits are abundant in nature, typically observed
as changes in morphology, biochemistry, and behavior (Agrawal 2001; Miner et al. 2005) …
