Abstract excerpt
Assuming stress levels to which free-living populations are normally exposed, an association between rapid development time, a long life, success in mating and size of sexual ornaments can be predicted. Fitness at one stage of the life cycle should therefore correlate with fitness at other stages under this environmental model. Assuming that stress targets energy carriers, high-energy efficiency underlain by...
