摘要: The paper uses the reproductive effort model of Schaffer (1974) to provide conditions on change in with age evolutionarily stable life histories. It is shown that low adult mortality, continuing growth, a rate population increase, and high sensitivity survival growth reproduction all tend favor increase age. Reproductive may decrease if converse hold.
