Stearns.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 history theory has made enormous progress in explaining the diversity of life history strategies among species, it traditionally ignores the underlying proximate mechanisms. This novel book argues that many fundamental problems in life history evolution, including the nature of trade-offs, can only be fullyOxford biology.Life cycles (Biology)Evolutionary geneticsElectronic books.Life cycles (Biology)Evolutionary genetics.576.8Flatt Thomas951225Heyland Andreas951226MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465458303321Mechanisms of life history evolution2150319UNINA
