Equivalence relationships between stage-structured population modelsJonathan M Yearsley
The Macaulay Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH, UK
Math Biosci 179:131-43. 2002..In this example, model simplification can increase parameter elasticity, indicating that an intermediate level of complexity is likely to be preferred...
Optimal diet selection, frequency dependence and prey renewalJonathan M Yearsley
The Macaulay Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen, Scotland AB15 8QH, UK
Theor Popul Biol 64:129-39. 2003..In this paper it is suggested that prey renewal is a further factor, often confounded in experiments, which could favour anti-apostatic selection...
A life history model of somatic damage associated with resource acquisition: damage protection or prevention?Jonathan M Yearsley
The Macaulay Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH, UK
J Theor Biol 235:305-17. 2005..The results from our models are discussed in light of published data. Resource acquisition is shown to be a potentially important mechanism for controlling somatic damage which deserves further study...
A theory of associating food types with their postingestive consequencesJonathan M Yearsley
Macaulay Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen AB15 8QH, United Kingdom
Am Nat 167:705-16. 2006..We discuss the ecological and behavioral implications of making associational errors and contrast the timescale and mechanisms of our theory with those of existing theory...
Transient population dynamics in periodic matrix models: methodology and effects of cyclic permutationsShana K Mertens
Rothamsted Research, Harpenden AL5 2JQ UK
Ecology 87:2338-48. 2006..Such understanding is critical to developing effective management and monitoring strategies for populations subject to periodically recurring environments...
Associations between basal metabolic rate and reproductive performance in C57BL/6J miceSarah L Johnston
Division of Obesity and Metabolic Health, Rowett Research Institute, Greenburn Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, UK
J Exp Biol 210:65-74. 2007..In this context, a high BMR may actually be disadvantageous, conflicting with the idea that high BMR may bring reproductive benefits...
