I wanted to make a quick (and somewhat belated) post announcing that my paper about the life history strategies of tetrapods was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B earlier this year. You can read the paper here.
As you might be able to tell from the date of the preprint in 2019 compared to the date of publication in 2021, this project has been quite the labor of love (and hate and everything in between).
Life-history traits represent organisms' strategies to navigate the fitness trade-offs between survival and reproduction. Eric Charnov developed three dimensionless metrics to quantify fundamental life-history trade-offs. Lifetime reproductive effort …

Organisms’ life history traits quantify their fitness strategies to navigate various energy allocation trade-offs between growth and reproduction. Eric Charnov presented three dimensionless metrics life history metrics that represent key life history …
**Objectives:** 1. Use Charnov’s dimensionless life history traits to visualize and quantify the life history strategies of amniotes. 2. Compare life history strategies of birds, mammals, reptiles, and smaller clades by using hypervolumes. 3. …
Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept underlies many applications in contemporary ecology and evolutionary biology. Estimating hypervolumes from sampled data has been an ongoing challenge due to conceptual and computational issues. We …
Multidimensional hypervolumes enable ecologists to visualize the functional trait space occupied by an ecological community. Previously, hypervolumes have been measured using a minimum convex hull, but convex hulls are exclusively determined by …
Testing new algorithms for creating *n*-dimensional hypervolumes.
