• Do hormonal control systems produce evolutionary inertia? (2008, background): “Finch (2002) has argued that the hormonal architecture of life-history traits like puberty permits a great deal of evolutionary flexibility, and studies have shown that selection can alter hormone levels at one life-history stage without affecting others (Zera et al. 2007).”
• Endocrine Control of Insect Polyphenism (2012, background): “…to be regulated by a threshold mechanism and population comparisons, controlled-breeding and artificial selection studies all inferred considerable levels of genetic variation for the threshold of this polyphenism (Fairbairn and Yadlowski, 1997; Harrison, 1979; Roff, 1986, 1990; Zera et al., 2007).”
• Glucocorticoid-Mediated Phenotypes in Vertebrates : Multilevel Variation and Evolution (2016, background): “…above (Section 3.1), exploring natural variation in GC concentrations and linking it to behavioral and fitness traits is one important step for understanding evolutionary dynamics of endocrine systems (McGlothlin, Jawor, & Ketterson, 2007; Pradhan, Solomon-Lane, & Grober, 2015; Zera et al., 2007).”
• Experimental evidence for physiological costs underlying the trade-off between reproduction and survival. (2010, background): “Physiological explanations for the trade-off between reproduction and survival are typically based on the assumption that these two components of fitness compete for limited energy and nutrients (Reznick 1992; Zera & Harshman 2001; Harshman & Zera 2007).”
• The Challenges of Integrating Oxidative Stress into Life-History Biology (2011, background): “This is not a unique problem for the study of oxidative stress; the same ambiguous state of affairs regarding the costs and constraints imposed by physiological systems applies also to, for example, the endocrine system (Hau 2007, Zera et al. 2007, Lessells 2008).”
• Reproductive tradeoffs of learning in a butterfly (2011, background): “Further studies integrating hormone titer measurements and manipulations (Zera et al. 2007) may have implications for understanding the mechanistic basis of the observed genetic variation in learning and reproduction.”
