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 …
I gave this talk as part of [Biology on Tap](https://www.facebook.com/biologyontap/), a monthly event for biology popular science talks.
I gave this talk to high school students in the first year of the Brown Scholars program to start off their unit on paleoneurobiology.

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. …
