The principle of allocation leads to trade-offs, which are the relationships between the benefits of resource investment decisions in one context compared to the costs of those decisions in another context. Optimal foraging theory quantifies the benefits (in terms of energy content) of various prey choices and the costs (in terms of energy inputs for cap

Resources that an org...The Principle of Allocation states that an organism has a finite (or limited) quantity of resources (energy, nutrients, etc) to invest in the various processes that sustain life. Resources that an organism invests in one process cannot also be invested in other processes, which produces trade offs in the decisions organisms make about resource investment. This section will discuss some of the major trade offs associated with various life history traits and strategies and how these trade offs pro
