Some underwater sceneries, like Paramuricea clavata communities in the Mediterranean (photo by Pol Capdevila), look pretty much like terrestrial landscapes. Yet aquatic ant terrestrial environments display stark differences in their environmental conditions and evolutionary history. For that reason, Capdevila et al.’s study, “Longevity, body dimension and reproductive mode drive differences in aquatic versus terrestrial life‐history strategies” (Funct Ecol. 2020; 34: 1613–1625.https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13604), examines whether and how such similarities and distinctness between aquatic and terrestrial environments influenced the evolution of species’ life histories.

一些水下风景，例如地中海的Paramuricea clavata群落（Pol Capdevila摄），看上去很像陆地景观。然而，水生蚂蚁陆地环境在其环境条件和进化史上显示出明显的差异。因此，Capdevila等人的研究“寿命，身体尺寸和生殖方式驱动着水生和陆地生命历史策略的差异”（Funct Ecol。2020； 34：1613-1625。https：//doi.org /10.1111/1365-2435.13604），研究水生和陆地环境之间的相似性和独特性是否以及如何影响物种生命历史的演变。
