The relationship of diet and phylogeny to the intrinsic rate of population increase (r ) was examined in a sample of 39 mammalian species that live in Neotropical forests. Diets of species did not predict their r , contrary to published predictions based on associations between basal metabolic rate and diet and between basal metabolic rate and r . Phylogeny did however, apparently because life history characteristics and susceptibility to predation vary predictably with phylogeny and with one another.
在生活于新热带森林的39种哺乳动物样本中,研究了饮食和系统发育与种群内在增长速率(r)之间的关系。物种的饮食并不能预测其r值,这与基于基础代谢率与饮食之间以及基础代谢率与r之间的关联所发表的预测相反。然而,系统发育显然可以,因为生活史特征和对捕食的易感性会随着系统发育以及彼此之间的变化而呈现可预测的变化。
