Evolution of life histories

[Bernd90]

Hey guys,

Got another question

What can you tell me about the evolution of life histories? <-- If my professor is going to ask me this question during my oral exam, I really don´t have a clue what to answer.

If there is someone with an idea or suggestion I´d be happy to read it

Many thanks,

Bernd90

What's supposed to be life histories?

[plasmodesmata11]

what are the advantages of each? for example, look up "r-selected organisms" and "k-selected organisms." Each of these have distinct trade offs involving energy and success of passing on genes.

I feel the purpose of life histories is the "want" and "desire" to live and establish in each individual...thats the only thing which resulted in "today"
hope you get what i said

Hey guys,

Thanks for your advice. Particularly mentioning r- and k- strategists was a good point I believe

However, what I actually wanted to find out about is whether there is a list of evolutionary stages that shows how different life histories came about.

I hope you know what I mean. Please feel free to write whatever you find helpful regarding my problem.

Thanks again
