BioDiT Citrus: Exhibit 15: Fitness & Life History Traits

EXHIBIT 15

One of the most misunderstood concepts in evolutionary biology and ecology is the concept of fitness.  That term...I do not think it means what you think it means.  Going hand-in-hand with biological fitness are life history traits -- features of organisms that describe their reproductive strategies.  It can all feel very overwhelming and uncomfortable...and Herbert & Beatrix will be here (in mid-December 2025) to make it all clearer as part of Lovebugs-at-Large issue 609.  Or if not clearer, at least more uncomfortable...

Directions to Exhibit 16

Look back and to the left...back, and to the left...toward the sidewalk that heads to the field.  Exhibit 16 is on the brick pillar next to that sidewalk.
