We reported if early-life growth had a positive ( +), negative (−), no (0), or untested (NA) effect on survival. The literature survey was performed using ISI Web of Science and Google Scholar using combinations of the keywords “early-life growth rate,” “juvenile growth rate”, “trade-off”, “survival”, “mortality”, “growth–lifespan trade-off”, “growth–survival trade-off”, and “growth–mortality trade-off.” In addition, the bibliographies of relevant papers were used to search for studies to include in the review. These terms were kept broad as the relationship between early-life growth and survival can be analyzed in a study but not be its focus. Only studies performed on animal species were retained. The search was conducted in February 2020. For more precise information from each paper detailing the trade-off, see Appendix S1
aEarly-life growth was not related to survival until late life, when early horn growth incurred a survival cost
bThe culling regime and hunter preference determined survival patterns in the two harvested populations
