  1. Chapter 12 – Life Histories Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens)

  2. Lifespan: 2,000 Yrs Seed Production: Millions

  3. Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)

  4. Salmon: Anadromous Egg Production: Thousands Lifespan: 2-7 Years

  5. 8 Mayfly Hatch

  6. 9 Egg Production: Hundreds Adult Lifespan: One Day Mayfly

  7. LIFE HISTORY TRAITS Lifespan: 2-7 Years Egg Production: Thousands Lifespan: 2000 Years Seed Production: Millions Lifespan (Adult): 1 Day Egg Production: Hundreds

  8. Life History Traits • Study of Adaptations that Influence … • Reproductive Output • Size of Offspring • Growth Rate • Age at Reproductive Maturity • Competitive Ability • Life Span

  9. UNDERSTANDING LIFE HISTORY TRAITS Available Energy is Limited

  10. LIFE HISTORY CHARACTERISTICS A) OFFSPRING NUMBER VERSUS SIZE Sturgeon Angel Fish Trout

  11. Number of Eggs versus Egg Diameter Fig. 12.4 in Molles 2008

  12. Evolutionary Consequences of Life History Traits “Hypothetically” RR, Rr rr

  13. High Gene Flow Among Populations (p = frequency of R allele; q = frequency of r allele) Population A (p = .80, q = .20) Population A (p = .82, q = .18) Population B (p = .78, q = .22)

  14. Low Gene Flow Among Populations (p = frequency of R allele; q = frequency of r allele) Population A (p = .80, q = .20) Population A (p = .20, q = .80) Population B (p = .40, q = .60)

  26. Evolution of Life History Characteristics: Within Species Variation? (Are Age at Maturity, Reproductive Output Related to Adult Survivorship?)

  27. Variation in Survivorship Among Populations of Pumpkinseed Figs. 12.15, 12.16 in Molles 2008
