The relationship between food intake, body fat and reproductive inhibition in prairie deermice (Peromyscus maniculatus bardii)

Evolution in reproductive tempo and investment across the Peromyscus radiation

“…Increased food availability often leads to increased body condition in lab P. maniculatus and field P. leucopus (Cronin & Bradley, 1988 ; Scarlett, 2004 ; Vandegrift et al, 2008 ; Yunger, 2002 ), and it tends to result in increased rates of reproduction within these same populations (Cronin & Bradley, 1988 ; Yunger, 2002 ) but see (Sharpe & Millar, 1991 ; Vandegrift et al, 2008 ). In P. maniculatus , seed‐masting events were associated with a marginal increase in total reproductive output across the year (Gashwiler, 1979 ).…”

Energy saving processes in huddling emperor penguins: from experiments to theory

“…This is consistent with body temperature profiles of breeding male emperor penguins recorded in the 2005 study. The possible link between huddling behaviour, reduction in thyroid hormone activity, and a reduced metabolic rate has also been suggested in reproductively inhibited huddling prairie deer mice Peromyscus maniculatus bardii (Cronin and Bradley, 1988).…”
