The ecology and evolution of inducible defenses
TL;DR: Inducible defenses are responses activated through a previous encounter with a consumer or competitor that confer some degree of resistance to subsequent attacks as discussed by the authors, which can affect the probability of individual survival and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meaning in the context of stress and coping
Crystal L. Park,Susan Folkman +1 more
TL;DR: Although theoretical and empirical work on topics related to meaning and meaning making proliferate, careful evaluation and integration of this area have not been carried out as discussed by the authors, which is a serious issue.

Integrating Thermal Physiology and Ecology of Ectotherms: A Discussion of Approaches
TL;DR: Analytical methods of describing and comparing certain as?

Exploitation of Sexual Signals by Predators and Parasitoids
Marlene Zuk,Gita R. Kolluru +1 more
TL;DR: Signals used to attract mates are often conspicuous to predators and parasites, and their evolution via sexual selection is expected to be opposed by viability selection, while plants emit attractants analogous to secondary sex characters in animals, and may also be vulnerable to signal exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and inhibition
TL;DR: Two experiments assess adult age differences in the extent of inhibition or negative priming generated in a selective-attention task within the Hasher-Zacks (1988) framework, which proposes inhibition as a central mechanism determining the contents of working memory and consequently influencing a wide array of cognitive functions.

A resolution of the lek paradox
TL;DR: It is shown that additive genetic variation is also higher in sexual traits, and often greater than in the same, non-sexually selected trait in females or other comparable traits in thesame species, contrary to the expectations of the lek paradox.
