Explanations for primate brain expansion and the evolution of human cognition and culture remain contentious despite extensive research. While multiple comparative analyses have investigated variation in brain size across primate species, very few ha...

Fast life history traits promote invasion success in amphibians and reptiles (2017)
Journal Article
Allen, W., Street, S., & Capellini, I. (2017). Fast life history traits promote invasion success in amphibians and reptiles. Ecology Letters, 20(2), 222-230. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.12728

Competing theoretical models make different predictions on which life history strategies facilitate growth of small populations. While ‘fast’ strategies allow for rapid increase in population size and limit vulnerability to stochastic events, ‘slow’...
