This project aims to address the “cost of reproduction”, where lifespan and fecundity are negatively correlated. Bringing together nutritional geometry and evolutionary theory, to the project will produce an over-arching theory of why animals have finite lifespans and limited reproductive capacity. Benefits include developing research strategies for managing the nexus between diet, reproduction and lifespan in animals and humans, placing Australia at the forefront of a paradigm shift in understanding the relationship between diet, reproduction and lifespan.

该项目旨在解决“生殖成本”问题，即寿命与生育力之间的负相关性。该项目将营养几何学和进化理论结合起来，将产生一个关于为什么动物寿命有限和繁殖能力有限的过度理论。其益处包括制定研究战略，以管理动物和人类的饮食、生殖和寿命之间的关系，使澳大利亚处于理解饮食、生殖和寿命之间关系的范式转变的最前沿。
