DESCRIPTION
Adaptation of life histories Introduction Life history is the distribution of major events over the lifetime of individuals. Life history studies concern the timing and the intensity of reproduction, as well as the processes generating this temporal distribution. They analyze life span, age and size at maturity, the trade-offs between somatic growth, maintenance and repair versus reproduction, the decisions on number and size of the offspring, the investment in current offspring and in future reproductive attempts.TRANSCRIPT
