An Empirical Test of Evolutionary Theories for Reproductive Senescence and Reproductive Effort in the Garter Snake Thamnophis elegans
Evolutionary theory predicts that differential reproductive effort and rate of reproductive senescence will evolve under different rates of external mortality. We examine the evolutionary divergence of age-specific reproduction in two life-history ecotypes of the western terrestrial garter snake, Th...
