Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of Feeding Strategies
TL;DR: Throughout, emphasis will be placed on strategic aspects of feeding rather than on what Holling (75) has called "tactics," and possible answers to the first problem may be given to the second problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Mammalian reproduction: an ecological perspective.
TL;DR: The synthesis offered here uses as its core the bioenergetic control of reproduction, reflecting primarily the caloric costs of the female's reproductive effort as they relate to the energetic costs and gains associated with her foraging effort.
BookDOI
Parental care in mammals
TL;DR: The authors present here because it will be so easy for you to access the internet service and you can really keep in mind that the book is the best book for you.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current evidence for self-medication in primates: A multidisciplinary perspective
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the evolution of medicinal behavior in modern humans and the possible nature of self-medication in early hominids with the existence of an underlying mechanism for the recognition and use of plants and soils with common medicinal or functional properties.
