long-lived organisms, growth rates may often be close to unity
(Silvertown et al. 1993), and small changes may be of great biological

INTRODUCTION
In the study of life history evolution, a long-debated question is
how individual growth rates affect the life histories of long-lived
organisms (Case 1978, Arendt 1997)."

DISCUSSION
The patterns of life-history evolution in long-lived organisms
historically have been evaluated by generating life tables for different
populations and species and then comparing parameters of these life
tables to those of other long-lived organisms."
