Energy Allocation in Mammalian Reproduction
TL;DR: It is argued that more complete analyses will come from incorporating energetic measurements in studies of mammalian behavior and including mechanisms of behavioral compensation into physiological studies.

Metabolic fuels and reproduction in female mammals.
George N. Wade,Jill E. Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: Although there are species differences in the particular physiological and behavioral mechanisms mediating nutrition-reproduction interactions, two findings are consistent across species: 1) Reproductive physiology and behaviors are sensitive to the availability of oxidizable metabolic fuels and 2) When reproductive attempts are made, ovarian hormones play a major role in the changes in ingestion, partitioning, and utilization of metabolic fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammals in which females are larger than males.
TL;DR: Present knowledge about the species of mammals in which females are larger than males is quite rudimentary and much more information is needed before the authors will be able to speak of the selective pressures accounting for the phenomenon with any reasonable degree of certainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological costs of reproduction in small mammals
TL;DR: Life-history trade-offs between components of fitness arise because reproduction entails both gains and costs, and knowledge of these physiological costs is currently at best described as rudimentary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive features of mammalian reproduction.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to compare reproductive and developmental characteristics among mammals and to relate them to a consideration of mammalian reproductive rates.
