A tide pool population of the brittle-star Amphipholis squamata in South Devon was monitored from July 1986 to July 1987 with respect to a number of population dynamical attributes. The population had a simple life history. Most individuals recruited into the population in the period June-September, were reproductively active in the following summer and died when 13-17 months old. The population differed from others studied in temperate latitudes in pattern of recruitment, survival and in duration of reproductive activity. We speculate that these differences are a consequence of tide-pool conditions.

Abstract Life History Theory (LHT) predicts a monotonous relationship between affluence and the rate of innovations and strong correlations within a cluster of behavioral features. Although both predictions can be true in specific cases, they are incorrect in general. Therefore, the author's explanations may be right, but they do not prove LHT and cannot be generalized to other apparently similar processes.
