The evolution of class-dependent reproductive effort in humans and other animals

2018-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive effort is a major life history trait that largely determines an organism’s reproductive and survival schedule, and therefore it has a significant impact on lifetime fitness. A wealth of theoretical models have identified a wide range of factors that provide adaptive explanations for reproductive effort, including senescence, differential adult and offspring survival, and inter-generational competition...
