From the Publisher
"The book does an excellent job of introducing topics in a historical framework giving readers the background for the growth of thinking on the particular topic. By its nature, life-history analysis has a mathematical basis, but Hutchings provides considerable clarity on the mathematical underpinnings while keeping equations to a minimum." — Derek Roff, Quarterly Review of Biology
"This book encapsulates the fundamental concepts and empirical research required for a basic but indepth understanding of life history ecology and evolution." — Rev Fish Biol Fisheries"This book encapsulates the fundamental concepts and empirical research required for a basic but indepth understanding of life history ecology and evolution." — Rev Fish Biol Fisheries
