The idea that individual differences in behavior and physiology can be partly understood by
linking them to a fast-slow continuum of life history strategies has become popular in the …

Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model
system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies …

Functional traits and associated trait‐based concepts have driven rapid innovation in
ecology over recent years, with most progress based on insights from plants. However …

Trait and functional trait approaches have revolutionized ecology improving our
understanding of community assembly, species coexistence, and biodiversity loss. Focusing …

The term 'life-history theory'(LHT) is increasingly often invoked in psychology, as a
framework for integrating understanding of psychological traits into a broader evolutionary …

Central theories explaining the maintenance of individual differences in behavior build on
the assumption that behavior mediates life-history trade-offs between current and future …

Comparative studies of mortality in the wild are necessary to understand the evolution of
