Mechanisms of Life History Evolution : the Genetics and Physiology of Life History Traits and Trade-Offs /
"Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction, and survival and by investigating the trade-offs that constrain the evolution of these traits. Although life hi...
