When relative allocation depends on total resource acquisition: implication for the analysis of trade-offs.

Abstract excerpt

A central tenet of evolutionary biology states that life-history traits are linked via trade-offs, as classically exemplified by the van Noordwijk and de Jong model. This model, however, assumes that the relative resource allocation to a biological function varies independently of the total resource acquisition.
