Embryonic life histories in annual killifish: adapted to what?

The paper investigates whether embryonic life histories of annual killifish are adapted to within-year environmental cycles using evolutionary singular environments analysis.

Adaptational lags during periods of environmental change

The paper defines adaptational lags during environmental change using Adaptive Dynamics theory and applies it to a plant germination model, showing their relevance in pest management strategies.

Egg size does not universally predict embryonic resources and hatchling size across annual killifish species

The paper examines species-specific allometries between egg area and egg content parameters in annual killifish, finding that egg area predicts wet weight but varies in its explanatory power across species.

Determinants of growth and body size in Austrolebias South-American annual killifish

The study shows hatchling size variation is a main determinant of adult size variation in annual killifish, supporting the time constraint hypothesis.
