Life histories are not just fast or slow
Life history strategies, which combine schedules of survival, development, and reproduction,
shape how natural selection acts on species' heritable traits and organismal fitness …

Animal life history is shaped by the pace of life and the distribution of age-specific mortality and reproduction
Animals exhibit an extraordinary diversity of life history strategies. These realized
combinations of survival, development and reproduction are predicted to be constrained by …

The demographic buffering hypothesis: evidence and challenges
In (st) age-structured populations, the long-run population growth rate is negatively affected
by temporal variation in vital rates. In most cases, natural selection should minimize …

Life history mediates the trade‐offs among different components of demographic resilience
Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss underscore the need to understand how species
achieve resilience—the ability to resist and recover from a/biotic disturbances. Yet, the …
