Nutrition, ecology and nutritional ecology: toward an integrated framework (2009, background): “In the case modelled, NT is shaped as an asymmetrical ellipse oriented along a gradient of approximately –1, this shape reflecting the underlying cost structure for the investment of ingested nutrients (Simpson et al. 2004).”
The nature of nutrition: a unifying framework (2011, methodology): “Fitness costs can be described to take account of these various possibilities using a mathematical function, the Taylor series expansion (Simpson et al. 2004).”
Temperature‐by‐nutrient interactions affecting growth rate in an insect ectotherm (2010, methodology): “A three-dimensional response surface of dietary P:C mixture vs. temperature was also fitted for a composite estimate of fitness, which was represented as growth rate multiplied by fraction surviving (see Simpson et al., 2004; Figure 2C).”
Collective decision-making (2017, methodology): “Those decisions often aim at balancing the intake of different nutrients rather than maximising the gain in energy [24], as described by the Geometric Framework—a graphical approach pioneered by Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer [24,25].”
Nutritional goals of wild primates (2009, background): “One means by which all three levels of inquiry can be assessed, and hypotheses tested without a priori assumptions, is the Geometric Framework for nutrition (Raubenheimer & Simpson 2004; Simpson et al. 2004; Simpson & Raubenheimer 2005; Raubenheimer et al. 2009).”
Colony-level macronutrient regulation in ants: mechanisms, hoarding and associated costs (2010, background): “And when these compromises are measured across a range of foods with different nutritional profiles, insights about global rules governing nutrient regulation can be elucidated (Raubenheimer & Simpson 1999; Simpson et al. 2004).”
Lifespan and reproduction in Drosophila: New insights from nutritional geometry (2008, methodology): “In this article, we have used recent advances in nutritional research, a state-space platform known as the Geometric Framework (19, 20), to show how these issues can be resolved.”
The Biomechanics of Chewing and Plant Fracture: Mechanisms and Implications (2007, background): “An excellent understanding of the mechanisms regulating feeding behaviour of these two groups has been gained by the use of chemically defined diets (e.g. Simpson, 1995; Simpson et al., 1995; Simpson and Raubenheimer, 2000; Thompson and Redak, 2000; Raubenheimer and Simpson, 2003; Simpson et al., 20”
Mechanisms linking plant species richness to foraging of a large herbivore (2010, background): “Large generalist herbivores select diets among alternative plant species to better meet their need for nutrients (Simpson et al. 2004).”
Macronutrient optimization and energy maximization determine diets of brown bears (2014, background): “Macronutrient optimization can have significant effects on growth, immune responses, longevity, and fecundity (Simpson et al. 2004; Robbins et al. 2007; Simpson and Raubenheimer 2009; Cotter et al. 2011).”
