Life history, ecology and longevity in bats.
The evolutionary theory of aging predicts that life span should decrease in response to the amount of mortality caused by extrinsic sources. Using this prediction, we selected six life history and ecological factors to use in a comparative analysis of longevity among 64 bat species. On average, the maximum recorded life span of a bat is 3.5 times greater than a non-flying placental mammal of si...
متن کاملEvolutionary ecology of human life history.
The human life history is characterized by several unusual features, including large babies, late puberty and menopause, and the fact that there is a strong cultural influence on reproductive decisions throughout life. In this review I examine human life history from an evolutionary ecological perspective. I first review the evidence for life history trade-offs between fertility and mortality i...
متن کاملEvolutionary Ecology Models of Weed Life History
Weeds and invasive plants perform the colonization niche by seizing locally available opportunity spacetime created by human activity. The urge to understand and predict weed life history behavior provides a strong scientific and practical motivation to develop models. Most current weed models are quantitative and demographic. This chapter is a critical review of the limitations of demographic ...
متن کاملEcology predicts life history evolution in birds
Although a number of studies describe current evolutionary patterns concerning lifehistory evolution, how historical changes in the way organisms interact with their environment have shaped life-history evolution still remains unresolved. In this study, I integrate prospective and retrospective comparative approaches to ask what ecological factors have driven current variation in lifespan of bi...
متن کاملSpectral tuning and the visual ecology of mantis shrimps.
The compound eyes of mantis shrimps (stomatopod crustaceans) include an unparalleled diversity of visual pigments and spectral receptor classes in retinas of each species. We compared the visual pigment and spectral receptor classes of 12 species of gonodactyloid stomatopods from a variety of photic environments, from intertidal to deep water (> 50 m), to learn how spectral tuning in the differ...
