An example of how to build a scientific glossary:
Life history: This is a very important phrase from the article. Life history refers to all the changes and activities that occur throughout an organism’s lifespan. The author is looking at two key aspects of “life history” (how fast an organism grows and how well it reproduces) to help explain the “trade-offs” that any one adaptation may involve.
