Abstract: <p>In endotherms, physiological functioning is optimized within a narrow range of tissue temperatures, meaning that the capacity to dissipate body heat is an important parameter for thermoregulation and organismal performance. Yet, experimental research has found mixed support for the importance of heat dissipation capacity as a constraint on reproductive performance. To investigate the… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): West, Catherine Lorraine, Thesis advisor (ths): Dorken, Marcel, Degree committee member (dgc): Shafer, Aaron, Degree committee member (dgc): Friedman, Jannice, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p> The cost of reproduction refers to the use of resources for the production of offspring that decreases the availability of resources for future reproductive events and other biological processes. Models of sex-allocation provide insights into optimal patterns of resource investment in male and female sex functions and have been extended to include other components of the life history,… more
