Eric L. Charnov is at University of Utah.
"Charnov's approach is daring, and remarkably successful in producing quantitative predictions that fit the comparative data. It is a first-rate contribution to life-history evolution." --
Nature"What is new in Life History Invariants is the perspective of symmetry and invariance. Charnov's approach will be stimulating and provocative to those willing to consider his arguments carefully. . . . well worth the effort." --
Robert E. Ricklefs, University of Pennsylvania, Science"Students of life history evolution and population ecology will find this a stimulating book. It represents an admirable summary of the recent contributions Charnov has made to the field of life history theory....Will be a `must-read' for graduate seminars or an advanced graduate course in life history theory....Provides an intriguing introduction into the formulation of new hypotheses regarding life history evolution." --
