Case Study: Nemo Grows Up
In real life, 2 to 6 clownfish spend their entire adult lives within one sea anemone, but are not usually related.
The largest fish is a female; the next largest is the breeding male. The remaining fish are nonbreeding males. If the female dies, the breeding male
becomes a female, and the next largest male becomes the breeding male.
There is a strict pecking order in the group, based on body size.

Case Study: Nemo Grows Up
The breeding male cares for the eggs until they hatch.
The hatchlings move away from the reef, then return as juveniles and find an anemone to inhabit.
The resident fish allow a new fish to remain only if there is room.

Introduction
An organism’s life history is a record of events relating to its growth, development, reproduction, and survival.
Characteristics that define the life history of a organism: Age and size at sexual maturity. Amount and timing of reproduction. Survival and mortality rates.
![Page 11: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Individuals within a species show variation in life history traits.
The differences may be due to genetic variation or environmental conditions.
Generalizations about life history traits of a species can still be made.
Concept 7.1: Life history patterns vary within and among species.
![Page 12: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Life History Diversity
The life history strategy of a species is the overall pattern in the average timing and nature of life history events.
It is determined by the way the organism divides its time and energy between growth, reproduction, and survival.
![Page 13: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Figure 7.3 Life History Strategy
![Page 14: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Life history traits influenced by genetic variation are usually more similar within families than between them.
Natural selection favors individuals whose life history traits result in their having a better chance of surviving and reproducing.
![Page 15: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Life History Diversity
How and why have particular life history patterns evolved?
The theoretical ideal: Life histories are optimal (maximization of fitness).
Life history strategies are not necessarily perfectly adapted to maximize fitness, particularly when environmental conditions change.
![Page 16: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Phenotypic plasticity: One genotype may produce different phenotypes under different environmental conditions. For example, growth and development
may be faster in higher temperatures.Plasticity in life history traits can be a
source of plasticity in other traits.
![Page 17: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Callaway et al. (1994) showed that ponderosa pines grown in cool, moist climates allocate more biomass to leaf growth relative to sapwood production than do those in warmer desert climates, resulting in different tree shapes.
![Page 18: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Life History Diversity
Phenotypic plasticity may produce a continuous range of growth rates; or discrete types—morphs.
Polyphenism—a single genotype produces several distinct morphs. Spadefoot toad tadpoles in Arizona ponds
contain both omnivore morphs and larger carnivore morphs.
![Page 20: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Figure 7.5 Polyphenism in Spadefoot Toad Tadpoles
![Page 21: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Carnivore tadpoles grow faster and metamorphose earlier. They are favored in ephemeral ponds that dry up quickly.
The omnivores grow more slowly and are favored in ponds that persist longer, because they metamorphose in better conditions and have better chances of survival as juveniles.
![Page 22: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Life History Diversity
The different body shapes result from differences in the relative growth rates of different body parts: Carnivores have bigger mouths and stronger jaw muscles because of accelerated growth in those areas.
Allometry: Different body parts grow at different rates, resulting in differences in shape or proportion.
![Page 23: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Phenotypic plasticity may be adaptive in many cases, but adaptation must be demonstrated rather than assumed.
![Page 24: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Organisms have evolved many different modes of reproduction.
Asexual reproduction: Simple cell division—all prokaryotes and many protists.
Some multicellular organisms reproduce both sexually and asexually (e.g., corals).
![Page 25: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Life History Diversity
Sexual reproduction has benefits: Recombination promotes genetic variation; may provide protection against disease. And disadvantages: An individual
transmits only half of its genome to the next generation; growth rate of populations is slower.

Life History Diversity
Isogamy: When gametes are of equal size. Organisms such as the green alga
Chlamydomonas reinhardii have two mating types that produce isogametes.
![Page 30: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Anisogamy: Gametes of different sizes. Usually the egg is much larger and contains more nutritional material. Most multicellular organism produce
anisogametes.
![Page 31: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Life History Diversity
Complex life cycles involve at least two distinct stages that may have different body forms and live in different habitats.
Transition between stages may be abrupt.
Metamorphosis: Abrupt transition in form from the larval to the juvenile stage.
![Page 33: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Most vertebrates have simple life cycles without abrupt transitions.
But complex life cycles are common in animals, including insects, marine invertebrates, amphibians, and some fishes.
![Page 34: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Life History Diversity
Why complex life cycles? Small offspring may experience the
environment very differently than the larger parents.
For example, a tadpole is more strongly affected by surface tension and viscosity than an adult frog.
Parents and offspring can be subject to different selection pressures.
![Page 35: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Life History Diversity
About 80% of animal species undergo metamorphosis at some time in their life cycle.
Some species have lost the complex life cycle and have direct development—they go from fertilized egg to juvenile without passing through a larval stage.
![Page 36: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Life History Diversity
Many parasites have evolved complex life cycles with one or more specialized stages for each host.
For example, the parasite Ribeiroia has three specialized stages.
![Page 38: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Life History Diversity
Many plants, algae, and protists also have complex life cycles.
Plants and most algae have alternation of generations in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte alternates with a multicellular haploid gametophyte.

Life History Continua
Several classification schemes have been proposed to categorize the vast diversity of reproductive patterns.
The schemes place patterns on continua with extremes at each end.
Concept 7.2: Reproductive patterns can be categorized along several continua.
![Page 43: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Life History Continua
How many reproductive bouts occur during the organism’s lifetime? Semelparous species reproduce only
once. Iteroparous species can reproduce
multiple times.
![Page 44: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Life History Continua
Semelparous species include:Annual plants.Agave—vegetative growth can last up
to 25 years. It also produces clones asexually.
Giant Pacific octopus—a female lays a single clutch of eggs and broods them for 6 months, dying after they hatch.

Life History Continua
r-selection and K-selection describe two ends of a continuum of reproductive patterns. r is the intrinsic rate of increase of a
population.r-selection is selection for high
population growth rates; in uncrowded environments, newly disturbed habitats, etc.
![Page 47: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Life History Continua
K is the carrying capacity for a population.K-selection is selection for slower
growth rates in populations that are at or near K; crowded conditions, efficient reproduction is favored.
![Page 48: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Life History Continua
The r–K continuum is a spectrum of population growth rates, from fast to slow.
On the r-selected end: Short life spans, rapid development, early maturation, low parental investment, high rates of reproduction. Most insects, small vertebrates such as
mice, weedy plant species.
![Page 49: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Life History Continua
On the K-selected end: Long-lived, develop slowly, delayed maturation, invest heavily in each offspring, and low rates of reproduction. Large mammals, reptiles such as
tortoises and crocodiles, and long-lived plants such as oak and maple trees.
![Page 50: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Life History Continua
Most life histories are intermediate between these extremes.
Braby (2002) compared three species of Australian butterflies. The one in drier, less predictable habitats
has more r-selected characteristics. The two species found in more
predictable wet forest habitats have K-selected characteristics.

Life History Continua
A classification scheme for plant life histories is based on stress and disturbance (Grime 1977).
Stress —any factor that reduces vegetative growth.
Disturbance —any process that destroys plant biomass.
![Page 52: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Life History Continua
Four habitat types possible:Low stress, low disturbance.High stress, low disturbance.Low stress, high disturbance.High stress, high disturbance—not
suitable for plant growth.

Life History Continua
Three species/habitat types:Low stress and low disturbance —
competitive plants that are superior in their ability to acquire light, minerals, water, and space, have a selective advantage.

Life History Continua
High stress, low disturbance— stress-tolerant plants are favored. Features can include phenotypic
plasticity, slow rates of water and nutrient use, and low palatability to herbivores.
![Page 55: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Life History Continua
Low stress, high disturbance— ruderal plants dominate—short life spans, rapid growth rates, heavy investment in seed production. Seeds can survive for long periods until
conditions are right for rapid germination and growth.
Ruderal species can exploit habitats after disturbance has removed competitors.

Life History Continua
Comparing to the r–K continuum: Ruderal plants are similar to r-selected
species; stress-tolerant plants correspond to K-selected species.
Competitive plants occupy the middle of the r–K continuum.

Life History Continua
A new scheme proposes a “life history cube” that removes the influence of size and time (Charnov 2002).
The cube has three dimensionless axes:1. Size of offspring relative to adults.2. The reproductive life span divided by
the time to reach maturity.3. Adult reproductive effort per unit of
adult mortality.
![Page 59: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Life History Continua
The third axis is a measure of reproductive effort: The quantity of energy and resources devoted to reproduction, corrected to take into account the costs of reproduction.
![Page 61: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Life History Continua
Charnov’s life history cube may be most useful when comparing life histories across broad range of taxonomy or size.
Grime’s scheme may be best for comparisons between plant taxa.
The r–K continuum is useful in relating life history characteristics to population growth characteristics.
![Page 62: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Trade-offs: Organisms allocate limited energy or resources to one structure or function at the expense of another.
Trade-offs shape and constrain life history evolution.
Concept 7.3: There are trade-offs between life history traits.
![Page 63: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Trade-offs between size and number of offspring: The larger an organism’s investment in each individual offspring, the fewer offspring it can produce. Investment includes energy, resources,
time, and loss of chances to engage in alternative activities such as foraging.
![Page 64: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Trade-Offs
“Lack clutch size”: Maximum number of offspring a parent can successfully raise to maturity. Named for studies by David Lack (1947):
Clutch size is limited by the maximum number of offspring the parents can raise at one time.
![Page 65: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Lack noticed that clutch size increased at higher latitudes, perhaps because longer periods of daylight allowed parents more time for foraging, and they could feed greater numbers of offspring in a day.
![Page 66: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Experimental manipulation of clutch size in lesser black-backed gulls showed that in larger clutches, offspring have less chance of survival (Nager et al. 2000).
![Page 67: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Trade-Offs
In species without parental care, reproductive investment is measured as resources invested in propagules (eggs or seeds).
Size of the propagule is a trade-off with the number produced.
In plants, seed size is negatively correlated with the number of seeds produced.
![Page 69: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Trade-Offs
The size–number trade-off can also occur within species.
Northern populations of western fence lizards have larger average clutch size, but smaller eggs, than southern populations.
![Page 71: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Trade-Offs
Experiments by Sinervo (1990) on the lizard eggs showed that smaller eggs developed faster and produced smaller hatchlings. The small hatchlings grew faster, but
were not able to sprint as fast to escape predators.
![Page 74: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Selection may favor early hatching in the north, because of shorter growing seasons. Or faster sprinting speed in the south
where there may be more predators.
![Page 75: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Trade-offs between current and future reproduction: For an iteroparous organism, the earlier
it reproduces, the more times it can reproduce over its lifetime.
But not all reproductive events are equally successful.
Often the number of offspring produced increases with size and age of the organism.
![Page 76: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Atlantic cod increase reproductive output with age. At 80 cm length, a female produces about
2 million eggs per year. At 120 cm, 15 million eggs per year.
![Page 77: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Overfishing in the Atlantic has resulted in evolutionary change in the cod’s life history. Fishing selectively removes the older,
larger fish, which has led to significant reductions in growth rates and in age and size at maturity.
![Page 78: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Because the largest fish have the greatest reproductive potential, fishing has resulted in a reduction in the total quality and quantity of egg production.
This change may persist even if overfishing ends, and may delay or prevent recovery of cod populations.
![Page 79: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Trade-Offs
If sexual maturity can be delayed, an organism can invest more energy in growth and survival, and may increase its lifetime reproductive output. Example: A fish with a 5-year lifespan can
increase its total reproductive output by delaying maturation by one year, if it has a good chance of surviving to age 5.

Trade-Offs
Under what conditions should an organism allocate energy to growth rather than reproduction? Long life span, high adult survival rates,
and increasing fecundity with body size. If rates of adult survival are low, future
reproduction may never occur, so early reproduction rather than growth would be favored.
![Page 82: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Senescence —decline in fitness of an organism with age and physiological deterioration.
Onset of senescence can set an upper age limit for reproduction.
Semelparous species undergo very rapid senescence and death following reproduction.
![Page 83: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Trade-Offs
In some large social mammal species, such as African elephants, postreproductive individuals contribute significantly through parental and grandparental care or contribute to the success of the social group in other ways.
![Page 84: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Senescence may occur earlier in populations with high mortality rates due to disease or predation.
The mutation accumulation hypothesis of Medawar (1952) suggests that when few individuals survive long enough for selection to act against deleterious mutations that are expressed late in life, these mutations will accumulate.
![Page 85: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Trade-Offs
Delayed senescence has been shown in populations of guppies with low mortality rates (Reznick et al. 2004).
In populations where mortality is high due to predation or starvation, guppies may be investing less energy in immune system development and maintenance, resulting in higher rates of senescence due to disease.
![Page 86: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Different morphologies and behaviors are adaptive at different life cycle stages.
Differences in selection pressures over the course of the life cycle are responsible for some of the distinctive patterns of life histories.
Concept 7.4: Organisms face different selection pressures at different life cycle stages.
![Page 87: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Small early life stages are vulnerable to predation.
Small size means less capacity to store nutrients, so they are also vulnerable to competition for food, or environmental conditions that reduce food supplies.
![Page 88: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
But small size can allow early stages to do things that are impossible for adult stages.
Organisms have various mechanisms to protect the small life stages.

Life Cycle Evolution
Parental Investment: Many birds and mammals invest time and
energy to feed and protect offspring. Other species provide more nutrients in
eggs or embryos (e.g., in the form of yolks).

Life Cycle Evolution
Plant seeds may have a large endosperm, the nutrient-rich material that sustains the embryo during germination (e.g., the milk and meat of coconuts).

Life Cycle Evolution
Dispersal and diapause: Small offspring are well-suited for
dispersal. Dispersal can reduce competition among
close relatives, and allow colonization of new areas.
Dispersal can allow escape from areas with diseases or high predation.
![Page 93: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Sessile organisms such as plants, fungi, and marine invertebrates disperse as gametes or larvae— small and easily carried on wind or water currents.
![Page 94: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Dispersal has evolutionary significance.
Hansen (1978) compared fossil records of gastropod species with swimming larvae versus species whose larvae developed directly into crawling juveniles.
Direct-developing species tended to have smaller geographic distributions and were more prone to extinction.

Life Cycle Evolution
Diapause: State of suspended animation or dormancy—organisms can survive unfavorable conditions. Many seeds can survive long dormancy
periods. Many animals can also enter diapause.
![Page 97: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Amoeboid protists form a hard shell or cyst that allows them to survive desiccation.
“Sea monkeys” are brine shrimp eggs that can survive out of water for years.
Small size is advantageous for diapause because less metabolic energy is needed to stay alive.
![Page 98: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Different life history stages can evolve independently in response to size- and habitat-specific selection pressures.
Complex life cycles minimize the drawbacks of small, vulnerable early stages.
![Page 99: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
Functional specialization of stages is a common feature of complex life cycles.
Many insects have a larval stage that remains in a small area, such as on a single plant.
The larvae are specialized for feeding and growth, and have few morphological features other than jaws.
![Page 100: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
The adult insect is specialized for dispersal and reproduction.
Some adults, such as mayflies, are incapable of feeding and live only a few hours.

Life Cycle Evolution
In marine invertebrates, larvae are specialized for both feeding and dispersal in ocean currents. Many larvae have specialized feeding
structures called ciliated bands covering most of the body.
They may also have spines, bristles, or other structures to deter predators.

Life Cycle Evolution
Even in organisms without abrupt shifts between life stages, different sized and aged individuals may have very different ecological roles.
A size- or stage-specific ecological role has been called an ontogenetic niche by Werner and Gilliam (1984).
![Page 104: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Life Cycle Evolution
In species with metamorphosis, there should be a theoretical optimal time for life stage transitions.
Werner suggested this should occur when the organism reaches a size at which conditions are more favorable for its survival or growth in the adult habitat than in the larval habitat.

Life Cycle Evolution
The Nassau grouper is an endangered coral reef fish. The juvenile stages stay near large
clumps of algae. Smaller juveniles hide within the algae
clumps, larger ones stay in rocky habitats near the clumps.

Life Cycle Evolution
In experiments with these fish, Dahlgren and Eggleston (2000) found that smaller juveniles are very vulnerable to predators in the rocky habitats.
But larger juveniles were not, and were able to grow faster there.
The study support the ideas of Werner—the niche shift was timed to maximize growth and survival.

Life Cycle Evolution
In some cases metamorphosis is delayed, or eliminated.
Some salamanders can become sexually mature while retaining larval morphologies and habitat—called paedomorphic.
In the mole salamander, both aquatic paedomorphic adults and terrestrial metamorphic adults can exist in the same population.

Case Study Revisited: Nemo Grows Up
Change in sex during the course of the life cycle is called sequential hemaphroditism.
These sex changes should be timed to take advantage of the high reproductive potential of different sexes at different sizes.

Case Study Revisited: Nemo Grows Up
This hypothesis helps to explain sex changes in clownfish and the timing of those changes relative to size.
But it does not answer the question of how and why growth is regulated to maintain a hierarchy of clownfish within each anemone.

Case Study Revisited: Nemo Grows Up
Experiments with clownfish show that hierarchy is maintained by regulating growth rates (Buston 2003).
If two fish become similar in size, a fight results and one is expelled from the anemone.

Case Study Revisited: Nemo Grows Up
Removal of the breeding male from an anemone resulted in growth of the next largest male—but only until it could take the place of the breeding male, not large enough to threaten the female.
The clownfish avoid conflict within their social groups by exerting remarkable control over their growth rates and reproductive status.

Connections in Nature: Territoriality, Competition, and Life History
Why do the clownfish maintain the hierarchy? They are completely dependent on
protection by the sea anemone. They are easy prey outside the anemone. Conflicts result in expulsion and death,
probably without having reproduced.
![Page 115: Chap.07 Life history analyses 鄭先祐 (Ayo) 教授 國立台南大學 環境與生態學院 生態科學與技術學系 環境生態研究所 + 生態旅遊研究所](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022031713/56649e7f5503460f94b82aff/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Connections in Nature: Territoriality, Competition, and Life History
So there is strong selection pressure to avoid conflict.
Growth regulation mechanisms have evolved because individuals that avoid growing to a size that necessitates conflict are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Connections in Nature: Territoriality, Competition, and Life History
Buston found that remaining in an anemone and biding time offered better chance of reproductive success than leaving to find a new anemone.

Connections in Nature: Territoriality, Competition, and Life History
Sea anemones are a scarce resource for clownfish.
This controls ontogenetic niche shifts.
Juveniles returning to the reef must find an anemone that has space, where it will be allowed to stay and enter the hierarchy.

“Settlement lotteries” also affect other species that compete for space.
Long-lived tree species in tropical rain forests compete for space and sunlight.
Success of any one seedling may depend on chance events, such as death of a nearby tree that creates a gap in the canopy.

Connections in Nature: Territoriality, Competition, and Life History
Complex life histories appear to be one way to maximize reproductive success in such highly competitive environments.
