Theories of Life-History Evolution [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1983 SYNOPSIS. In order to assess current scientific understanding of life-history evolution, the alternative fundamental theories are formulated in a refutable form and compared with the available empirical evidence. The hypothesis that life-history does not evolve is rejected on the grounds that life-history can be readily modified by artifical selection.

Queen control of a key life-history event in a eusocial insect [PDF]
, 2013 In eusocial insects, inclusive fitness theory predicts potential queen–worker conflict over the timing of events in colony life history. Whether queens or workers control the timing of these events is poorly understood.

From organism to population: the role of life-history theory [PDF]
, 1994 The role of life-history theory in population and evolutionary analyses is outlined. In both cases general life histories can be analysed, but simpler life histories need fewer parameters for their description.

The relevance of life history theory to harvest and conservation
Fauna Norvegica, 1997 “Life history theory” and “applied ecology” are two disciplines that together span much of the field of natural science. The first seeks to understand the basic patterns underlying the diversity of life cycles, whereas the second seeks to guide our ...
