该模型提供了一个通用框架，用于分析相对较多的变量对父母照顾数量变化的影响。假设自然选择有利于父母在整个繁殖尝试的许多时间间隔内最大化其繁殖价值，该模型预测了父母对年龄和后代数量、繁殖季节开始以来的时间、配偶的努力和父母条件的变化的最佳反应。该自变量列表可以轻松地在模型框架内扩展或限制。尽管该模型是针对双亲一夫一妻制物种开发的，但它可以作为应用于其他交配系统以及添加或减去父母响应的变量的基础。
This model provides a general framework for analyzing the effects of a relatively large number of variables on quantitative variation in parental care. On the assumption that natural selection favors parents that maximize their reproductive value in each of many time intervals throughout a breeding attempt, the model predicts optimal parental responses to variation in age and number of offspring, time since the beginning of the breeding season, effort of the mate, and parental condition. This list of independent variables can easily be expanded or restricted within the framework of the model. Although the model is developed here for biparental monogamous species, it serves as the foundation for applications to other mating systems and for the addition or subtraction of variables to which the parents respond.
