Who’s Coming Home? Shorter Early-Life Telomeres Predict Return to the Natal Colony in an Arctic Seabird | Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology: Vol 99, No 2

AbstractIn wild animals, the length of their telomeres, the noncoding DNA sequences protecting the ends of chromosomes, in early life has been shown to predict their performance (e.g., survival, repro...

📃New paper in Ecology letters 🐦 I’m delighted to share the publication of the first paper from my #postdoc with @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social looking at life-history trade-offs and #senescence in black-browed #albatrosses from Kerguelen and Bird Island doi.org/10.1111/ele.70384

Environmental Variability Shapes Life‐History Trade‐Offs Within and Between Populations of a Long‐Lived Seabird

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...
