More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Charnov's approach is daring, and remarkably successful in producing quantitative predictions that fit the comparative data. It is a first-rate contribution to life-history evolution." --Nature
"What is new in Life History Invariants is the perspective of symmetry and invariance. Charnov's approach will be stimulating and provocative to those willing to consider his arguments carefully. . . . well worth the effort." --Robert E. Ricklefs, University of Pennsylvania, Science
"Students of life history evolution and population ecology will find this a stimulating book. It represents an admirable summary of the recent contributions Charnov has made to the field of life history theory....Will be a must-read' for graduate seminars or an advanced graduate course in life history theory....Provides an intriguing introduction into the formulation of new hypotheses regarding life history evolution." --Ecology
Product Description
In this book, Eric Charnov uses ideas about symmetry, invariance, and scaling laws to explore aspects of population dynamics and the evolution of male and female life histories. Charnov's work is internationally known and will attract great interest among postgraduate students and researchers in ecology, evolution, behaviour, and many other fields within organismal biology.
