Abstract
A conference entitled ‘Alternative Life History Styles of Fishes and Other Organisms’ was held in Grahamstown, South Africa, in June 1987. The aim of the conference was to examine the way in which epigenesis (i.e. the interactions among gene products, cells, tissues, organs and the environment during the formation of an organism) shapes the life-history styles of plants and animals. In particular, we wished to examine the concept of alternative life-history styles (ALHS), i.e. that organisms may follow one or both of two trajectories, which are constantly created during their development, depending, for example, on whether the environment is relatively stable or unstable. The conference attracted scientists working on a wide range of organisms.
