The Conundrum of Heterogeneities in Life History Studies.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Nov 2016

Cam Emmanuelle, Aubry Lise M, Authier Matthieu

Abstract excerpt

What causes interindividual variation in fitness? Evidence of heritability of latent individual fitness traits has resparked a debate about the causes of variation in life histories in populations: neutralism versus empirical adaptationism. This debate about the processes underlying observed variation pits neutral stochastic demographic processes against evolutionarily relevant differences among individual...
