Document Summary

Because all organisms have access to limited energy and resources, there are fundamental tradeoffs in how these can be allocated between survival, offspring number, and offspring size. 1976, stephen stearns was a graduate student at the university of british columbia. During the process of deciding what project he wanted to tackle for his ph. d. thesis, he wrote a paper entitled. Life-history tactics: a review of the ideas, published in the quarterly review of biology. This paper was the first synthesis of the ideas in life history, and by itself, created a field of research that would shape the careers of many researchers yet to come. As a sign of how influential stearns was, and continues to be, this paper has been cited over 1,800 times by other scientists. To put this in perspective, if a single paper is cited 100 times, it is generally considered an influential paper.
