Rankin 9800767 Previous research into how environment influences resource allocation to foraging rely on the ability of the researcher to correctly classify an organism's behavior. These studies also rely on the assumption that rough measures of resources provided by caloric output and time allocation are accurate measures of allocation of limiting nutrients. By utilizing a trap-synthesizing organism, the PI can unambiguously classify the investment into foraging. Furthermore, based upon recent advances in my understanding of the nutritional ecology of the web, the PI now knows that some components of the web are limiting essential nutrients requiring budgeting by the individual organism in response to its environment. It is tantilizing that preliminary results indicate that such a vital function as allocation of a limiting resource might vary among the offpring of different individual females from a single population. Only by a more extensive test, using the offspring of many more females, can the possibility of a family x treatment interaction be proven or disproven.

兰金9800767 以前的研究环境如何影响资源分配觅食依赖于研究人员的能力，正确分类生物体的行为。 这些研究还依赖于这样的假设，即热量输出和时间分配提供的资源的粗略测量是限制营养素分配的准确测量。通过利用陷阱合成生物体，PI可以明确地将投资分类为觅食。 此外，根据我对网络营养生态学的最新了解，PI现在知道网络的一些组件正在限制必需营养素，需要个体生物体根据其环境进行预算。初步结果表明，在同一种群中不同个体雌性的后代中，分配有限资源的重要功能可能存在差异。只有通过更广泛的测试，使用更多雌性的后代，才能证明或反驳家庭x治疗相互作用的可能性。
