The History of Life [PDF]

open access: possibleOrigins of life and evolution of the biosphere, 1996
Abstract The notion that life may have a history dates back only little more than two centuries. Before that, living species were viewed as given once and for all. Life had no more history than the universe. Only we, humans, had a history.

Effects of life history traits on genetic diversity in plant species

, 1996
Seven two-trait combinations (e.g. breeding system and seed dispersal mechanism) of five life history characteristics were used to analyse interspecific variation in the level and distribution of allozyme genetic diversity in seed plants.

Trade-offs in life-history evolution

, 1989
Trade-offs represent the costs paid in the currency of fitness when a beneficial change in one trait is linked to a detrimental change in another. If there were no trade-offs, then selection would drive all traits correlated with fitness to limits ...

Life History Theory

2016
The core premises of Darwinian evolution are survival and reproduction (Darwin 1859); and biological organisms need energy to achieve these goals. All life requires capturing and allocating energy; however, this energy is limited and comes at a cost – organisms cannot expend unlimited resources, maximizing all life domains simultaneously.

Insect life history and the evolution of bacterial mutualism.

Ecology Letters, 2015
Bacterial symbiosis has played a fundamental role in the evolution of eukaryotes. However, we still know little about how cooperative relationships with bacteria originate, and why they form in some host species but not others. Facultative symbionts that

Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade-offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation.

Ecology Letters, 2009
The concept of trade-offs is central to our understanding of life-history evolution. The underlying mechanisms, however, have been little studied. Oxidative stress results from a mismatch between the production of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS ...
