Slow life histories in lizards living in the highlands of the Andes Mountains
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-11-17)
In the highlands of the Andes, lizards must balance precisely the allocation of energy for growth and reproduction to ensure their survival. We studied the individuals’ age, growth rates, age at sexual maturity, and maximum ...
Energy allocation to growth and reproduction in a viviparous lizard endemic to the highlands of the Andes, Argentina
(Wiley, 2015-09)
Individuals devote energy intake to growth, maintenance and reproduction, so knowing the way in which they allocate this energy between competing demands is essential to understand their relationship with the environment. ...
Indirect measures of reproductive effort in a resource-defense polygynous ungulate: Territorial defense by male guanacos
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-01)
Trade-offs between reproductive effort and activities that are likely to enhance survival have been studied extensively in harem defense ungulates. However, among resource defense systems, ecological determinants of the ...
Comparative reproductive effort and fecundity in the spider crabs, leurocyclus tuberculosus and libinia spinosa (Majoidea, Brachyura)
(Zoological Society of Japan, 2014-04)
A comparative analysis of reproductive effort, fecundity, and egg weight was conducted in two species of spider crabs, Leurocyclus tuberculosus and Libinia spinosa, during one-year period. Ovigerous females were collected ...
Reproductive biology of an endemic Physalaemus of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, and the trade-off between clutch and egg size in terrestrial breeders of the P. signifer group
(British Herpetol Soc, 2010-07-01)
Physalaemus crombiei is a small foam-nesting frog endemic to the Atlantic forest. It is a member of the P signifer group known only from its type locality in Santa Teresa, State of Espirito Santo, and from another locality ...

Biosynthesis in the Albumen Gland-Capsule Gland Complex Limits Reproductive Effort in the Invasive Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Marine Biological Laboratory, 2018-08)
High fecundity often contributes to successful invasives. In molluscs, this may be facilitated by the albumen gland-capsule gland complex, which in gastropods secretes the egg perivitelline fluid that nourishes and protects ...
