By linking optimal foraging theory and optimal life history theory, we demonstrate that optimal diets, in general, may depend on the individual's age even when everything else remains the same. Older individuals (i.e., individuals with lower reproductive values) are predicted to have diets composed of highly nutritious food types that are possibly dangerous to pursue.
通过将最优觅食理论与最优生活史理论联系起来，我们证明，一般来说，即使其他所有条件都保持不变，最优饮食可能仍取决于个体的年龄。预计年龄较大的个体（即生殖价值较低的个体）的饮食由可能难以获取的高营养食物类型组成。
