Energetic Constraints and Male Mate-Securing Tactics in the Damselfly Calopteryx splendens xanthostoma (Charpentier)

TL;DR: It is shown that the ability to win fights, and therefore be territorial, is dependent on energy reserves (fat), and an alternative explanation centring around Grafen’s (1987) ‘desperado’ effect and the energy constraint on a male's ability to obtain a territory is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex population dynamics and complex causation: devils, details and demography

TL;DR: Experimental dissection of empirical systems is providing important insights into the details of the drivers of demographic responses and therefore dynamics and should also stimulate theory that incorporates relevant biological mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Context‐Dependent Intergenerational Effects: The Interaction between Past and Present Environments and Its Effect on Population Dynamics

TL;DR: It is shown that manipulating parental food environments of soil mites produced intergenerational effects that were still detectable in the life histories of descendents three generations later.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in maternal investment in eggs can affect population dynamics

TL;DR: In the soil mite, Sancassania berlesei, it is shown that there is a trade-off between a female's fecundity and the per-egg provisioning of protein, and conjecture that maternal effects could result in long-term dynamical effects.
