Discuss life-history traits of an organism that have evolved in relation to the constraints imposed by biotic and abiotic factors in their habitat.
According to ecologists, life-history traits of an organism have evolved in relation to the constraints imposed by the biotic and abiotic factors in their habitats. It can be illustrated with vast variations and life history. The evolution of populations aims at improving reproductive fitness or Darwinian fitness to the maximum in their habitats. They evolve towards the most efficient reproductive strategy. Organisms like Pacific Salmon fish and bamboo breed only once in their lifetime. Most birds and mammals breed many times during their lifetime. Oysters and pelagic fishes produce a large number of small-sized offspring. Birds and mammals produce a small number of large-sized offspring.
