Most data on determinants of reproductive success (RS) and reproductive "tactics" are correlational in nature, and hence cannot be used to infer causation. Consistent patterns-such as an increase in RS with age, as seen in many types of organisms-may result from diverse underlying mechanisms. Ontoge
Previous simplified optimal life history models suggest that natural selection favors all-or-none energy allocation between somatic growth and reproduction such that juveniles grow in body size but do not reproduce while adults reproduce but do not grow. This ideal pattern departs greatly from energ
Two grass species, the annual Bromus sterilis and the perennial Bromus erectus, were grown from seeds for 28 days in a hydroponic culture system at 1 and 100 μM NO in the nutrient solution. At 100 μM NO, the relative growth rate (RGR) of the perennial was 30% lower than that of the annual. This was
