Informational density and relative accessibility of the peripheral nervous system make it an
attractive site for therapeutic intervention. Electrode-based electrophysiological interfaces …

Allometry refers to the ways in which organismal shape is associated with size. It is a special
case of integration, or the tendency for traits to covary, in that variation in size is ubiquitous …

Larval nutrition may affect a range of different life history traits as well as responses to
environmental stress in adult insects. Here we test whether raising larvae of fruit flies …

Abstract The Argentine Center‐West was the southernmost portion of the Andes where
domestication of plants and animals evolved. Populations located in the southern portion of …

Background The amount and quality of nutrients consumed by organisms have a strong
impact on stress resistance, life-history traits and reproduction. The balance between energy …

Mechanisms of resource allocation are essential for maternal and fetal survival, particularly
when the availability of nutrients is limited. We investigated the responses of feto-placental …

Extreme environmental change during growth often results in an increase in developmental
abnormalities in the morphology of an organism. The evolutionary significance of such …

Large‐scale patterns of correlated growth in development are partially driven by competition
for metabolic and informational resources. It is argued that competition between organs for …

The 'expensive tissue hypothesis' predicts a size trade‐off between the brain and other
energetically costly organs. A specific version of this hypothesis, the 'expensive sexual …

Geometric morphometrics is a powerful tool for the study of morphological variation that
possesses numerous advantages over the more traditional approach based on linear …
