Evolutionary 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 کاملDeveloping an evolutionary ecology of fear: how life history and natural history traits affect disturbance tolerance in birds
When approached by humans, virtually all species flee, but we lack an understanding of the factors that influence flight response among species. Understanding this variation may allow us to understand how ‘fear’ structures communities, as well as to predict which species are likely to coexist with humans. I used flight initiation distance (FID) as a comparative metric of wariness and examined t...
متن کاملUsing evolutionary demography to link life history theory, quantitative genetics and population ecology
1. There is a growing number of empirical reports of environmental change simultaneously influencing population dynamics, life history and quantitative characters. We do not have a well-developed understanding of links between the dynamics of these quantities. 2. Insight into the joint dynamics of populations, quantitative characters and life history can be gained by deriving a model that allow...
متن کاملDoes development mode organize life-history traits in the parasitoid Hymenoptera?
1. Several authors have proposed that inter-speci®c variation in parasitoid life histories can be classi®ed according to a dichotomy of development modes: ectoparasitoids and idiobionts with one suite of traits, and endoparasitoids and koinobionts with an opposing set of traits. 2. The factual evidence for such a dichotomy is presently scant. Here, 10 predictions of the dichotomous hypothesis a...
