A critique of methods for measuring life history trade‐offs
Open accessAbstract
Constraints have important effects on the evolution of life history strategies, but several difficulties have been encountered in determining constraints empirically. Here we investigate methods for measuring a specific type of constraint known as a trade‐off. A trade‐off between two traits implies a perfect negative correlation between the traits. Trade‐offs may involve more than two traits, however, and pairs of traits involved in such a higher‐dimensional trade‐off may be positively correlated. If some of the traits involved in a trade‐off are omitted from the experimental design, the trade‐off may not even be detectable. Direct measures of trade‐offs are thus complicated, and indirect means of identifying trade‐offs may often provide the only feasible measures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
