This study compares aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates to identify shifts in demographic and evolutionary constraints affecting life-history evolution, finding reduced diversification potential on land and differences in viviparity transitions.

This study compares two lobster fisheries with different female protection strategies, finding that low fishing effort and protection of egg-bearing females enhance egg production but skew sex ratios and size structures.

The paper develops a demographic model for the Eastern Hellbender to assess extinction risk from habitat loss, nest failure, and adult mortality, finding that high nest failure rates can drive populations to extinction over decades.
