How to quantify maternal investment? @HuijsmansTim reports the maternal investment metric for mammalian species - derived from the allometric scaling of litter mass at weaning age by adult mass and investment duration https://t.co/bpm7HKqlBw

Nature's ComBio published my article on quantification of maternal investment, i.e. energy a mother invests in her offspring. It introduces a metric to compare investment across species to increase our understanding of evolutionary reproduction strategies: https://t.co/T782kbdE7N

#Lioness with an unknown history on the loose in #Berlin. She was hunting on a wild boar. Did she maybe survive for some time on her own? It raises many interesting questions concerning #animalwelfare, instinct, European wildlife, etc.

@antoinebos1 Yes I read it

[Tim Huijsmans @HuijsmansTim]

@antoinebos1 Yes, it is clearly a lioness give the physical characteristics
