The emergence of birth limitation as a new stage in the fertility transition in sub-Saharan Africa

Mathias Lerch

The fertility transition started later in sub-Saharan Africa than in other regions of the world. Moreover, the average number of children per woman declined more slowly there, owing to a distinct mechanism of fertility reduction. It has been argued that th ...

Evolution of longevity improves immunity in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Much has been learned about the genetics of aging from studies in model organisms, but still little is known about naturally occurring alleles that contribute to variation in longevity. For example, analysis of mutants and transgenes has identified insulin ...

Status Updates in a multi-stream M/G/1/1 preemptive queue

Emre Telatar, Elie Najm

We consider a source that collects a multiplicity of streams of updates and sends them through a network to a monitor. However, only a single update can be in the system at a time. Therefore, the transmitter always preempts the packet being served when a n ...

Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout

Laure Menin, Matay Hobil

Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...
