Relationships between life‐history strategies of European freshwater fish species and their habitat preferences (2007, methodology): “Similarly, the use of dimensionless traits has been successful for identifying trait combinations that are comparable within biological groups and may account for compromises between traits (Beverton, 1963; Charnov, 1993; Roff, 2001).”
Experimental evidence for physiological costs underlying the trade-off between reproduction and survival. (2010, background): “Experimental evidence for physiological costs underlying the trade-off between reproduction and survival”
Capital or income breeding? A theoretical model of female reproductive strategies (2007, background): “ife-history theory is concerned with how an animal should allocate resources to reproduction over its life in order to maximize fitness (e.g., Roff 1992; Stearns 1992; Roff 2002 ).”
Assortative Pairing and Life History Strategy (2009, background): “This is because short-term stochastic variations in environmental conditions that result in widely varying levels of juvenile and adult mortality favor the evolution of both diversified bet-hedging and faster LH strategies (Ellis et al. 2009; Murphy 1968; Roff 2002 ); the diversification of offspri”
