Evolution of Seasonal Adaptations and Life History Traits in Chrysopa: Response to Diverse Selective Pressures
Earth’s seasonal cycles have multiple direct and indirect influences on the life histories of organisms. Growth, development, and reproduction must be synchronized with the seasonal presence of energy resources, mates, and favorable physical conditions. A

Preface
This volume is the result of a symposium entitled "Variation in Life Histories: Genetics and Evolutionary Processes" sponsored by the Program in Evolutionary Ecology and Behavior ofthe University of Iowa and held in Iowa City on October 13 and 14, 1980. Prompted by arecent upsurge of interest in the evolution of life histories, we chose this topic because of the obvious association between life history traits and Darwinian fitness. If such an association were to be fruitfully investigated, it would require the eloser cooperation of population and evolutionary ecologists and quantitative and population geneticists. To encourage such an association, our symposium had four major aims: first, to facilitate intellectual exchange a
