Interbirth intervals: Intrafamilial, intragenomic and intrasomatic conflict

16 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Interbirth intervals (IBIs) mediate a trade-off between child number and child survival. Life history theory predicts that the evolutionarily optimal IBI differs for different individuals whose fitness is affected by how closely a mother spaces her children. The objective of the article is to clarify these conflicts and explore their implications for public health. METHODOLOGY: Simple...
