The Evolution of Animal Nuptial Gifts (2012, background): “Income breeders are those that fuel reproduction using current energetic income, while capital breeders support their reproduction with energy stores accumulated at an earlier life stage (Houston et al., 2007; Stearns, 1992).”
Migratory connectivity in Arctic geese: spring stopovers are the weak links in meeting targets for breeding (2007, background): “Houston et al. (2007) have recently proposed a generalised model for female reproductive strategies, distinguishing capital from income breeding.”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “For instance, maintaining some extra mass might be beneficial for purposes of re-nesting, but only if the local risk is not too high (see also Houston et al., 2007).”
Emerging Issues and Methodological Advances in Fisheries Reproductive Biology (2011, background): “Within a reproductive cycle, the temporal pattern of energy gain with respect to reproductive behavior and spawning is species specific and falls somewhere between two extremes: capital breeders and income breeders ( Houston et al. 2007 ).”
Foraging behavior of lactating South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) and spatial-temporal resource overlap with the Uruguayan fisheries (2013, background): “Like other lactating otariids, SASL are central place-foragers and are restricted to foraging relatively close to their colony (Costa, 1993; Houston et al., 2007).”
On balanced exploitation of marine ecosystems: results from dynamic size spectra (2012, background): “Once maturation has occurred, a proportion of assimilated food is allocated to reproduction, which means that reproduction depends on incoming mass rather than on capital (Houston et al., 2007; Stephens et al., 2009).”
The adaptive value of energy storage and capital breeding in seasonal environments (2009, background): “This insight is gained because we allow reproductive values to emerge in a model with a full life cycle ( Houston and McNamara 1999 ).”
The effects of phenological mismatches on demography (2010, background): “In addition, the relative role of phenology in affecting reproduction and survival will differ between species with income or capital breeding systems— that is, those that provision offspring with resources available during the reproductive period versus those that provision with resources gained pr”
