Life History Evolution: An Explanatory Framework
Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to supply the reader with foundational information about life history theory without which the remainder of the book would not make sense. Herein, it is explained that life history was originally an exclusively biological theory relevant to the timing of gestation,...

Bat Life History
In order to assess the impact of roads on bats, an important consideration is of course the biology of the bats themselves. Bats are small mammals with the life history strategy of very much larger species (e.g. Barclay and Harder 2003; Altringham 2011). They have taken the low fecundity, long life option,...

LIFE HISTORY VARIATION AND MATING SYSTEM
Life history variation involving burrow-living and symbiosis with other marine invertebrates has given rise to pair-bonding monogamous mating system in several caridean shrimps. This system could further evolve into social mating systems, in which both males and females protect the habitat to overcome...

Brief Overview of Life History Theory
In evolutionary terms, the ability to reproduce is the most important capacity living organisms possess, allowing for passing genes on to the next generations. For animals that reproduce more than once, like many mammals, reproductive effort involves investment in multiple breeding episodes over the...

Human and Primate Life History and Reproductive Strategies
In general, primates are relatively large, long-lived mammals with big brains and complex social behavior. Humans are longer lived than our closest primate relatives, the chimpanzees and gorillas, and other mammals of similar body size. Modern humans in industrialized countries can now live up to 30...

Life History Framework
Life history theory is a useful framework to consider the optimal age to initiate childbearing under different circumstances. Women who start having children too young may compromise their own growth and potentially jeopardize their health as well as fetal development and offspring survival. Women who...

Immunity, Hormones, and Life History Trade-Offs
Michael P. Muehlenbein, Sean P. Prall, and Hidemi Nagao Peck Abstract Immunity is an integral part of organismal life histories because it is crucial for maximizing evolutionary fitness, and because it is energetically expensive to develop, maintain, and activate. This chapter orients the...

Life history, disease, and trauma
Critical to understanding disease and trauma on bone is what is generally referred to as “host resistance” (Goodman et al. 1984). Because of both biological and cultural differences in the availability of and access to resources and reserves, not all individuals are equally at risk. A host who is...

LIFE HISTORIES AND THE ARC OF TIME
One may ask why it is important for anthropologists to document patterns of health and disease for ancient Americans, especially when understanding health today is a more immediate and compelling concern. Why not concentrate efforts on people living today because the need is so great? One reason has...

Life History as a Correlated Complex
Coming Apart contains many passages that establish connections across all variables under scrutiny: 1. “At that time, 38 percent of white males ages 20-49 who were on probation had not completed high school, more than four and a half times the overall dropout rate” (Murray 2012, p. 192). 2....
