متن کاملLife histories of pathogen populations.
The populations of pathogens in individual hosts have many of the characteristics of multicellular organisms, or individuals. These populations go through a life cycle within a host and they reproduce by founding daughter populations in new hosts. Natural selection shapes the life history characteristics of pathogen populations--life expectancy, trade-offs in the allocation of resources between...

A life history approach to understanding four diverse mental health outcomes is presented.
