The paper develops size-structured models to explore how density dependence influences body size evolution, showing that gigantism or dwarfism depends on population maturity proportions and developmental trajectories.

The paper tests how size-dependent competitive interactions affect species coexistence by comparing allopatric and sympatric populations of guppies and killifish.

This study identifies candidate loci for convergent evolution in guppies adapted to low predation environments using genome-wide sequencing and a novel multivariate approach.

This paper develops a framework using Integral Projection Models to predict coexistence in species with continuous ontogenetic niche shifts and competitive asymmetry, showing multiple routes to coexistence based on niche shifts and competitive dynamics.
