HAND BREEDING [3 records]

Record 1 2017-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour
CONT

Two... general tactics are discussed... under the concepts of capital and income breeding. These are defined mainly from the temporal distribution of resource acquisition relative to resource use. A capital breeder acquires its resources in advance and store them endogenously or exogenously until they are needed to supply aspects of offspring production. An income breeder, on the other hand, adjusts its food intake concurrently with breeding, without reliance on stores.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
DEF

Organisme qui compense les coûts énergétiques élevés de la reproduction en s'alimentant durant cette période, plutôt qu'en stockant des réserves.

OBS

Il est préférable, si on veut demeurer dans le même champ lexical, d'utiliser le terme «approvisionnement» plutôt que «revenu». Le premier a le sens de «se munir de» tandis que le second a plutôt le sens de «recevoir» ce qui est moins juste.

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
CONT

Les organismes compensent les coûts élevés de la reproduction soit en stockant des réserves corporelles dont ils dépendront pour la reproduction (reproduction sur capital), soit en s'alimentant pendant la reproduction (approvisionnement). Les reproducteurs sur capital sont supposés faire face à une réduction limitée des ressources lors d'une saison de reproduction, mais au détriment de leurs réserves corporelles et de leurs reproductions futures lors de mauvaises années.
