Timing


Life history timing – or the timing of key events in an organism’s life – indicate transitions of stage, state and/or energy budget that govern both how an organism interacts with its environment as well as its role in an ecosystem, fishery, etc.  Our efforts to explain and predict life history variation in time and space include:
