Certificate in Environmental Impact Assessment - The Evolution of Life Histories
BIOL 4500 The Evolution of Life Histories
CREDIT HOURS: 3
Life history describes how reproductive effort changes with age to create strategies that influence survival and reproduction. Life-history research is fundamental to population ecology, evolutionary biology, sustainable harvesting, and conservation biology. Life-history theory provides an explanatory/predictive framework for understanding why organisms differ in how they propagate genes to future generations.
