Nice new life-history trade-off paper out soon from @katelaskowski.bsky.social & team. Meta-analytical confirmation of the missing (yet much invoked) -ve genetic covariance. In a 'resource allocation trade-off' world, genetic variation within pops may lie more in resource acq than allocation. Cool.
What's the meta-analytic evidence for life-history trade-offs at the genetic level?
Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the maintenance of individual differences in behavior and physiology is a fundamental goal in ecology and evolution. The Pace-of-life syndrome hypo...

*New #evolution paper* Sparrow-weaver mothers lay larger eggs when they will have more help feeding the resulting chicks. Maternal reaction norms to help are *opposite* for egg size & nestling feeding rate. Cool. But why do this? 1 of 3... Fine work @p_capi on X. tinyurl.com/2djsp6zd #ExeterCEC 🌍🧪🦉
