Costs of Foraging Predispose Animals to Obesity-Related Mortality when Food Is Constantly Abundant
Obesity is an important medical problem affecting humans and animals in the developed world, but the evolutionary origins of the behaviours that cause obesity are poorly understood. The potential role of occasional gluts of food in determining fat-storage strategies for avoiding mortality have been...
