植物の生活史進化と気候とのかかわり  [in Japanese] The Life-history Evolution of Plants and Its Relevance to Climate  [in Japanese]

<p> To obtain insights into the relevance of climate and environment for life-history evolution, the following are reviewed: 1) life-history classification derived from <i>r–K</i> selection theory and C–S–R triangle theory, 2) theoretical studies of life-history evolution based on population growth and resource allocation, 3) experimental studies to test life-history theories, and 4) empirical comparison studies between and within species, followed by 5) a brief discussion on how the global climate affects the life-history evolution of plants.</p>
