Abstract:Food drives ecology and evolution, but few studies have directly investigated the impacts of the total amount of food on life history evolution within‐species. Among the limited number of available case studies that do directly test total food effects on life history evolution we still lack consensus, partially owing to incompletely described life histories. We explored life history trade‐offs across the whole life cycle, and the consequences for trait and population dynamics, in a marine copepod evolved under… Show more
