## Abstract The negative coโvariation of lifeโhistory traits such as fecundity and lifespan across species suggests the existence of ubiquitous tradeโoffs. Mechanistically, tradeโoffs result from the need to differentially allocate limited resources to traits like reproduction versus selfโmaintenan

## Abstract Placental reproduction is widespread across vertebrate taxa, but little is known about its lifeโhistory correlates and putative adaptive value. We studied variation in lifeโhistory traits in two populations of the placental poeciliid fish __Poeciliopsis prolifica__ to determine whether
The silver saxifrages (Saxifraga sect. Ligulatae Haworth; Saxifragaceae) exhibit remarkable variation of substrate specialization, with strictly calcicole to calcifuge species, as well as life histories which range from semelparity to iteroparity. They occur almost exclusively in the European mounta
