Longevity, body dimension and reproductive mode drive differences in aquatic versus terrestrial life‐history strategies

Functional Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 1613-1625, August 2020., 2020
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article Abstract Aquatic and terrestrial environments display stark differences in key environmental factors and phylogenetic composition but their consequences for the evolution of species' life‐history strategies remain poorly understood. Here, we examine whether and
