    Department of Biology, 208 Mueller Lab, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
    Mol Ecol 20:1813-28. 2011
    ..These results identify likely molecular mechanisms underpinning life history variation that is maintained by extinction-colonization dynamics in metapopulations...

    J Exp Biol 211:3653-60. 2008
    ..Overall, these results show that AS of a muscle gene responds in a quantitative fashion to whole-organism variables, which apparently serves to coordinate muscle strength and energy expenditure with body condition and life history...
