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 …

Rethinking the fast-slow continuum of individual differences
M Del Giudice - Evolution and Human Behavior, 2020 - Elsevier
The idea that individual differences in behavior and physiology can be partly understood by
linking them to a fast-slow continuum of life history strategies has become popular in the …

Animal functional traits: Towards a trait‐based ecology for whole ecosystems
Functional traits and associated trait‐based concepts have driven rapid innovation in
ecology over recent years, with most progress based on insights from plants. However …

Convergent evolution toward a slow pace of life predisposes insular endotherms to anthropogenic extinctions
Island vertebrates have evolved a number of morphological, physiological, and life history
characteristics that set them apart from their mainland relatives. However, to date, the …

Life-history theory in psychology and evolutionary biology: one research programme or two?
The term 'life-history theory'(LHT) is increasingly often invoked in psychology, as a
framework for integrating understanding of psychological traits into a broader evolutionary …

Correlated evolution of social organization and lifespan in mammals
Discerning the relationship between sociality and longevity would permit a deeper
understanding of how animal life history evolved. Here, we perform a phylogenetic …

Covariation among reproductive traits in flowering plants shapes their interactions with pollinators
Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …
