A search for a set of rules when particular traits affecting reproduction and survival may be favored by natural selection.
![Page 6: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Life history results from rules and choices influencing survival and reproduction.
Juvenile survival

Life histories vary along a slow-fast continuum.
![Page 8: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Traits are correlated in contrasting environments.
• Slow (often large organisms)• slow development• delayed maturity• low fecundity• high parental investment/offspring• low mortality• long life• Fast: opposite traits
![Page 9: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lack: life history in an evolutionary context.
• As life history traits contribute to reproductive success, they influence evolutionary fitness.
• Life histories vary consistently with environmental factors; hence may be molded by natural selection.
![Page 10: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Life history: schedule of organism’s life, including:
• age at first reproduction (maturity) • number and size of offspring (fecundity)• number of reproductive events (parity)• aging (life span)
• The values of these traits are solutions to the problem of allocating limited time and resources among various structures, physiological functions, and behaviors.
![Page 11: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Resource Allocation
• Organisms face a problem of allocation of scarce resources. (compromise? or can organisms increase overall performance without trading off one function against another?)
![Page 12: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
*** Describe, then explain this tradeoff: reproduction vs. mortality
![Page 13: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is the tradeoff between:parental investment vs. parental survival?
![Page 14: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Life histories balance trade-offs between current reproduction and future reproduction.
• Great variation among organisms in resolving the fundamental tradeoff between fecundity and adult growth and survival.
• Principle: limited time and resources are allocated among competing functions so as to maximize lifetime reproductive success.
![Page 16: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Tradeoffs: Allocation of time, energy, or materials devoted to one structure or function cannot be allotted to another.
• Costs: Allocation to current reproduction involves tradeoff with survival, growth, and future reproduction.

Explain the law of ‘diminishing returns’: trade-off between fecundity vs. survival
![Page 18: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Major life history traits
• 1 Age of Maturity• 2 Fecundity• 3 Parity (# times reproduce)• 4 Aging and lifespan
![Page 19: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1) Age of Maturity When should an organism begin to breed?
![Page 20: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
*** Summarize the major result.What explains the pattern?
![Page 21: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What determines age of maturity? • Affects generation time and rate of entry
of genes into gene pool• Benefit to not delay: immediate fecundity• Benefit to delay: (if have relatively long
lifespan) may have age-related gains in
fecundity from growth or experience• BUT cost to delay:• May have risk of mortality with time • May have reduced fecundity at later ages
![Page 22: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Explain: Optimal age at maturity (i.e. maximize lifetime reproduction) varies in direct proportion to life span.
e.g. determinate growth in a lizard: starts to reproduce after reaches maximum size
![Page 23: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2) Fecundity: How many offspring per reproductive bout?
• Fecundity vs. parental investment/offspring
• seed size vs. seed number• egg size vs. egg number
• Great variation in seed and egg size among species
![Page 24: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Wide variation among organisms in life history traits.
temperate tropical
![Page 25: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
***Experimental test of hypothesis:Number of eggs per clutch is limited byfood supply. Normal clutch size = 7.Do the data support the hypothesis?
What type of selectiondoes this demonstrate?a. Directionalb. Stabilizing
Is genetic variation beingmaintained or reduced?
![Page 26: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
e.g. indeterminate growth in fish (continue to grow throughout life; fecundity directly related to body size)
Explain: adult longevity determines optimalallocation between growth and reproduction.
![Page 27: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Summarize all graphs in one sentence.Explain this evolutionary shift in life histories.(selection by predators on both adults and young occurs)
![Page 28: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Growth vs. Fecundity• If indeterminate growth,• Fecundity is related to body size;• Increased fecundity in one year reduces growth, and thus fecundity, in future.
• Short-lived emphasize fecundity over growth
• High extrinsic adult mortality rates favor increased reproductive effort, or investment in offspring, at expense of adult survival and future reproduction.
• Long-lived emphasize growth over fecundity
![Page 29: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3) Parity• How many times to reproduce per
lifetime?• Semelparous • (monocarpic) once• Iteroparous • (polycarpic) repeated
![Page 30: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If semelparous, at what year to undergo ‘big-bang’ reproduction?
• Annual• Biennial• Long-lived
![Page 31: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Semelparity: Hypothesis: When preparation for reproduction is extremely costly?
![Page 32: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why is cicada:Semelparous?
Synchronous?
![Page 33: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Semelparity: Hypotheses…• When payoff for reproduction is highly
variable but favorable conditions are predictable?
• When pollinators attracted to massive display?
![Page 34: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Iteroparity: When low current reproduction results in maintaining high future reproduction.
Perennials…Repeated breeders…
![Page 35: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
4) Aging and Lifespan• Senescence is a decline in
physiological function with age. • Causes decline in fecundity and
survival
![Page 36: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Strength of selection varies with mortality rate. If high mortality, few reach old agelittle selection for mechanisms to prolong life.
Would greenor orange have strongerselection todelay senescence?
![Page 37: Sign up for: IB Spotlight Send email to: spezia@illinois](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816337550346895dd3c778/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why does aging vary?
• Not all organisms senesce at same rate, suggesting that aging may be subject to natural selection and evolutionary modification.
• Strength of selection diminishes on traits expressed at progressively later ages.
