Of Uberfleas and Krakens: Detecting Trade-offs Using Mixed Models.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Aug 2017

Careau Vincent, Wilson Robbie S

Abstract excerpt

SYNOPSIS: All animals experience performance trade-offs as they complete tasks such as capturing prey, defending territories, acquiring mates, and escaping predators. Why then, is it so hard to detect performance trade-offs at the whole-organismal level? Why do we sometimes even obtain positive correlations between two performance traits that are predicted to be negatively associated? Here we explore two...
