Sex-specific fitness consequences of nutrient intake and the evolvability of diet preferences.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2013

Reddiex Adam J, Gosden Thomas P, Bonduriansky Russell, Chenoweth Stephen F

Abstract excerpt

The acquisition of nutrients is fundamental for the maintenance of bodily functions, growth, and reproduction in animals. As a result, fitness can be maximized only when animals are able to direct their attention to foods that reflect their current nutritional needs. Despite significant literature documenting the fitness consequences of nutrient composition and preference, less is known about the underlying...
