Empirical evidence of a trade-off between reproductive effort and expectation of future reproduction in female three-spined sticklebacks

1999-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Optimal life-history models generally predict that the reproductive effort of iteroparous organisms may increase with age, as their expectation of future reproduction decreases. The population of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in the Camargue (Rhone River Delta, France) is annual, all adults dying after their first breeding season. As the three-spined stickleback is a multiple spawner, we teste...
