Specifically, we propose that SIT accounts for more rigidly obligate physiological traits whereas LHT encompasses both obligate traits <i>and </i>flexibly facultative behaviors and, thus, permits the ENT-driven expectation that brighter individuals would act in evolutionarily novel ways—e.g., slower reproduction despite possessing capacities for faster reproduction.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>We examined this logic using another obligate reproductive trait: the timing of puberty.
