Patterns of phenotypic and life history change in populations adapting to changing density
- Abstract:
-
Life history theory explores how organisms allocate resources across survival, growth, and reproduction under varying environmental constraints and trade-offs. A well-studied model of life history evolution is the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), where populations from high-predation and low-predation habitats have been shown to evolve distinct strategies. In common garden experiments, guppies translocated from high- to low-predation regimes exhibit slower life histories and extended ...
