Bio 161 Ecology and Evolution Population Ecology (2): Life history strategies:Maximize reproductive value.
Life history of the individual: Birth Energy gathering (feeding) Growth Dispersal Reproduction Rest / reorganization Death Unique life history strategies of species.
RV = CRV + RRV. Example: Mortality in function of number of fecundity (clutch size and number of clutches) in birds.
Correlation between annual fecundity and annual mortality in birds Across bird species.
RV = CR + RRV. Example: Clutch size of the following year in function of the current clutch size (when larger of smaller than average) of goldfinch.
RV = CR + RRV. Example: Nestling weight in function of the clutch size of chickadee.
RV = CR + RRV. Lack and Optimum clutch size in birds.
RV = CR + RRV. Example: Optimal number and size of lizard babies.
