Current thinking in life‐history theory and the biology of ageing suggests that ageing rates,
and consequently life spans, evolve largely as a function of trade‐offs with reproduction …

Trade-offs and constraints are inherent to life, and studies of these phenomena play a
central role in both organismal and evolutionary biology. Trade-offs can be defined …

There is growing interest in studying hormones beyond single 'snapshot'measurements, as
recognition that individual variation in the endocrine response to environmental change may …

The concept of trade-offs permeates our thinking about adaptive evolution because they are
exhibited at every level of biological organization, from molecular and cellular processes to …

Quantitative genetic theory proposes that phenotypic evolution is shaped by G, the matrix of
genetic variances and covariances among traits. In species with separate sexes, the …

In recent decades, endocrinologists have increasingly adopted evolutionary methods and
perspectives to characterize the evolution of the vertebrate endocrine system and leverage it …

Dengue virus (DENV) cycles between mosquito and mammalian hosts. To examine how
DENV populations adapt to these different host environments, we used serial passage in …

When selection favors a new relationship between a cue and a hormonally mediated
response, adaptation can proceed by altering the hormonal signal that is produced or by …

The classical evolutionary theories of aging suggest that aging evolves due to insufficient
selective pressure against it. In these theories, declining selection pressure with age leads …

We introduce an Interaction-and Trade-off-based Eco-Evolutionary Model (ITEEM), in which
species are competing in a well-mixed system, and their evolution in interaction trait space is …
