Document Summary
Together these traits are called a life history strategy. o example measurements o number of reproductive events per lifetime (one, many, few) o number of offspring per reproductive event ( clutch size ) o age age at first reproduction o relative length of history stages (egg or seed, juvenile, adult) o. Lobelia deckenii lives for many years, flowers repeatedly before dying, produces a small inflorescence and fewer seeds per flower, lower adult mortality: trade offs create variation in life history strategies o offspring size and number o current and future reproduction, how do life history strategies affect the rate of population growth? o the working definition of a population a group of organisms of the same species occupying a particular space at a particular time o life tables: a method for quantifying life history traits and determining their effect on population growth rate.
