Older and wiser: improvements in breeding success are linked to better foraging performance in European shags (2007, background): “Three main hypotheses have been put forward to explain age-related improvements in breeding performance among iteroparous species: improvements in competence (Curio 1983); reproductive restraint by younger age classes (Williams 1966); and differential survival/recruitment giving rise to differences ”
The Evolution of Parental Care (2005, background): “Williams’s Principle was named as such when my postdoctoral fellow, Craig Sargent, who had recently obtained his PhD in George Williams’s laboratory at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and I realized that Williams’s concept of life history tradeoffs and a cost of reproduction ( William”
Polyandry in grain beetles, Tenebrio molitor, leads to greater reproductive success: material or genetic benefits? (2001, background): “emales across a wide range of taxa commonly mate with multiple males (Birkhead and Moller, 1998; Dewsbury, 1984; Ridley, 1988), despite the fact that adaptive advantages of multiple mating are not as apparent for females as for males ( Williams, 1966 ).”
