Primes¶
- Allocation
- The cleanest non-economic case is organismal energy budgeting: a plant or animal has a finite metabolic intake (supply) that must be apportioned across growth, maintenance, defense, and reproduction (claimants), subject to total energy balance (feasibility), via a developmental or hormonal mapping (assignment), under selection pressure (criterion — fitness rather than fairness or efficiency), a parallel Stearns (1992) makes precise in his synthesis of life-history evolution as the comparative study of criterion-driven energetic allocation across taxa.
This sourceSynthesis of life-history evolution as the comparative study of criterion-driven energetic allocation (growth vs. reproduction, current vs. future reproduction, offspring number vs. size) across taxa. SUPPORTS the knowledge-transfer claim that Stearns makes organismal energy budgeting precise as criterion-driven allocation.
