The concept of parental investment in biology refers to the resources (such as time, energy, and care) that parents invest in their offspring to increase their chances of survival and reproductive success. This theory, developed by Robert Trivers in 1972, posits that the level of parental investment often varies between males and females and can have significant evolutionary implications.
In many species, females typically invest more heavily in parental care due to the energetic costs of pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. This investment often leads to stronger maternal instincts and behaviors aimed at protecting and nurturing offspring. In contrast, males may invest more in competition for mates or in providing resources to attract mates, depending on the species and reproductive strategies involved.
Parental investment theory helps explain various aspects of animal behavior, including mate selection, courtship rituals, and the evolution of parental roles. It highlights how natural selection shapes behaviors that maximize reproductive success by balancing the costs and benefits of parental care.
