Zusammenfassung:Avian life-history evolution has an eminent past because birds played a critical role in the early development of life-history theory. A future that moves to examining alternative hypotheses, suites of traits and their inter-linkages, and geographic locations beyond north-temperature systems holds the bright potential of a leading role for birds in further advancing life-history theory and understanding.
