Economic models predominate in life history research, which investigates the allocation of
an organism's resources to growth, reproduction, and maintenance. These approaches …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent, often fatal and, for lack of specific therapies, can leave
survivors with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We characterize the distribution of tubular cells …

Interest in incorporating life history research from evolutionary biology into the human
sciences has grown rapidly in recent years. Two core features of this research have the …

Personality disorders (PDs) are currently considered dysfunctions. However, personality
differences are older than humanity and are ubiquitous in nature, from insects to higher …

A central prediction of evolutionary theory is that energy invested into reproduction comes at
the expense of somatic maintenance and repair, accelerating biological aging. Supporting …

Animals are born, mature, reproduce, age, and die. These are the milestones; the rest are
details. Some species complete this cycle in days, others over centuries. Some mature fast …

The fast–slow paradigm of life history (LH) focuses on how individuals grow, mate, and
reproduce at different paces. This paradigm can contribute substantially to the field of …

The evolution theory of ageing predicts that reproduction comes with long-term costs of
survival. However, empirical studies in human species report mixed findings of the …

Although early-life adversity can undermine healthy development, an evolutionary-
developmental perspective implies that children growing up in harsh environments will …

Many developmental theories have not been sufficiently evaluated using designs that
control for unobserved familial confounds. Our long-term goal is to determine the causal …
