Description

<b>Identifying determinants of variation in fitness for organisms with complex life histories has been a longstanding challenge for ecologists. Night-time conditions encompass half the lives of many organisms (Gaston et al., 2022), yet the impacts of varied nocturnal illumination on fitness-related traits across ontogeny are rarely considered. Many organisms exhibit differing patterns of development, growth, and reproduction in conjunction with natural seasonal variations in the timing, stren...
