Behavioral Ecology (REPRODUCTIVE TRADEOFFS) with Amy Worthington

Behavioral Ecology (REPRODUCTIVE TRADEOFFS) with Amy Worthington

Why do we bone? Why should we have kids? When should we have kids? Crickets might answer all these questions. Dr. Amy Worthington of Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska studies "life history tradeoffs:" when to allocate resources to reproduction versus preserving your own health. Whether you're an insect ghosting a buster mate or a millennial waiting to have kids until the economy gets better, you may learn a thing or two about whether having kids is worth it.
