Expected life‐history traits with a predicted trend in adaptive body sizes in relation to production efficiency and ecological mortality risk. Organisms with wasteful physiologies dissipate a larger amount of energy to build a unit of energy into their own or offspring tissues than organisms with frugal physiologies. Under the same physiology, species living under high risk of mortality should mature earlier and have shorter lifespans than species living under a low risk of mortality.
