Regulation of male traits by testosterone: implications for the evolution of vertebrate life histories.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Feb 2007

Hau Michaela

Abstract excerpt

The negative co-variation of life-history traits such as fecundity and lifespan across species suggests the existence of ubiquitous trade-offs. Mechanistically, trade-offs result from the need to differentially allocate limited resources to traits like reproduction versus self-maintenance, with s...
