Studies of consumer-resource interactions suggest that individual diet specialisation is empirically widespread and theoretically important to the organisation and dynamics of populations and communities. We used weighted networks to analyze the resource use by sea otters, testing three alternative models for how individual diet specialisation may arise. As expected, individual...
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...
