Abstract
The present paper reviews massive star (initial mass ⩽ 120 M ⊙) and very massive star (initial mass > 120 M ⊙) evolution. I will focus on evolutionary facts and questions that may critically affect predictions of population and spectral synthesis of starburst regions. We discuss (a) the effects of ever-lasting factor 2 or more uncertainty in the stellar wind mass loss rates; (b) the effects of rotation; (c) the effects of binaries; (d) the effects of stellar dynamics in dense cluster cores on the formation and evolution of very massive stars.
