BACKGROUND: The oxidative stress theory of life-history tradeoffs states that oxidative stress caused by damaging
free radicals directly underpins tradeoffs between reproduction and longevity by altering the allocation of energetic
resources between these tasks. We test this theory by characterizing the effects of exogenous oxidative insult and
its interaction with...

Evolutionary interactions across levels of biological organization contribute to a variety of fundamental processes including genome evolution, reproductive mode transitions, species diversification, and extinction. Evolutionary theory predicts that so-called “selfish” genetic elements will proliferate when the host effective population size (N[subscrit]e) is small, but direct tests of this prediction remain...

Large carnivores face serious threats and are experiencing massive declines in their populations
and geographic ranges around the world. We highlight how these threats have affected the
conservation status and ecological functioning of the 31 largest mammalian carnivores on
Earth. Consistent with theory, empirical studies increasingly show that large carnivores...
