Extended Data Fig. 2: Distribution of aquatic and terrestrial species in relation to body size and adult mortality, for different levels of lifetime reproductive output (LRO).

From: Fundamental constraints on vertebrate life history are shaped by aquatic–terrestrial transitions and reproductive mode

Extended Data Fig. 2

Adult mortality is estimated as the inverse of age at maturity, and lifetime reproductive output is the product of clutch size, longevity, and the frequency of reproductive bouts. Points are colored by reproductive mode.
