Physiological underpinnings in life-history trade-offs in man’s most popular selection experiment the dog
Meeting Abstract 28-1 Monday, Jan. 4 13:30 Physiological underpinnings in life-history trade-offs in man’s most popular selection experiment: the dog. JIMENEZ, A.G.; Colgate University ajimenez@colgate.edu Animal life-history traits fall within limited ecological space, a continuum referred to as a “slow-fast” life-history axis. Differences in life-history traits are thought to result from trade-offs between investment in reproduction or […]
