Male-biased predation and its effect on paternity skew and life history in a population of common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

DeGabriel Jane L, Moore Ben D, Foley William J, Johnson Christopher N

Abstract excerpt

Differences in predation risk may exert strong selective pressures on life history strategies of populations. We investigated the potential for predation to shape male mating strategies in an arboreal folivore, the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula Kerr). We predicted that possums in a tropical population exposed to high natural levels of predation would grow faster and reproduce earlier compared to...
