Evidence for r- and K-selection in a wild bird population: a reciprocal link between ecology and evolution.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 27 Apr 2016

Sæther Bernt-Erik, Visser Marcel E, Grøtan Vidar, Engen Steinar

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the variation in selection pressure on key life-history traits is crucial in our rapidly changing world. Density is rarely considered as a selective agent. To study its importance, we partition phenotypic selection in fluctuating environments into components representing the population growth rate at low densities and the strength of density dependence, using a new stochastic modelling framework. We...
