Assessing the roles of population density and predation risk in the evolution of offspring size in populations of a placental fish
Population density is an ecological variable that is hypothesized to be a major agent of selection on offspring size. In high-density populations, high levels of intraspecific competition are expected to favor the production of larger offspring. In contrast, lower levels of intraspecific competition...
