Considerations for the Development of a More General Life History Theory

摘要: A major concern of modern evolutionary ecology is the nature adaptations both among different species and populations within species. Frequently, consist complex sets phenotypic characters that function together co-vary under selection. One such character collection traits constitutes life history a Because “tactics” (see Stearns 1976) involve schedules reproduction survival therefore directly fitness, much empirical theoretical effort has been expended on understanding these environmental constraints shape them.
