For example
Perhaps include an example in reference to a certain species, and explain why they can't afford more prominent secondary sexual characteristics.
-
every organism has its own life history strategy.
May be helpful to specify if life history strategies vary at individual AND species levels.
-
As an example
This is an example that certainly clarifies subject matter, but could be more helpful/better remembered if it included pictures and was elaborated upon in more detail (i.e. compare/contrast the fishes' strategies).
-
they are commonly used
This phrase was confusing to me. Perhaps an example could be provided of what this means?
-
LHT
Could be helpful to include this abbreviation in parentheses following "life history theory" before using it by itself.

optimal foraging mode
Opportunity to insert a coding exercise?

Image could be formatted more cleanly (i.e. centered on the page and larger).

Eric Charno
It would make sense for this section to be included as a case study on one of these ecologist's work, perhaps include pictures of them
-
Foraging
See behavioral ecology section for comments regarding key terms.

Hello.
This section needs to be added (unless I am looking at the wrong place!)

Figure 8.1.98.1.9\PageIndex{9}:
There is great potential for case studies to be included in this section in various places, especially where experiments related to conditioning/learning are touched upon. As it stands, this section is very dense, so perhaps expansion on those experiments is not needed.
-
intersexual selection
Bolding this term and "intrasexual selection" would draw attention to these important concepts. This section is dense and could use the direction.
-
evolved, adapted
Describing migration as evolved AND adapted seems a bit redundant to me. Adaptation is a mechanism that can lead to evolution. Perhaps "evolved or adapted"?
-
kinesis
Would suggest bolding this, but that only makes sense if key terms were also bolded throughout other chapters in the textbook. Same with the term "taxis".
-
reflex action
Another potential key term to be bolded.
-
incorrect
I think "disadvantageous" would be more accurate here.
-
innate behaviors
Perhaps this could be bolded as a key term, as could the term "learned behaviors".
