The breeding systems of mammalian species are strongly influenced by the density and dispersion of their populations. These in turn are affected by variations in the distribution of resources. Through quantitative comparisons, it is possible to trace evolutionary relationships between feeding behaviour, population dispersion, breeding systems and morphology.
哺乳动物物种的繁殖系统受到其种群密度和分布的强烈影响。而这些又受到资源分布变化的影响。通过定量比较，可以追溯觅食行为、种群分布、繁殖系统和形态之间的进化关系。
