In the economic world, matter and energy are transformed for the purpose of creating utility (an enjoyment of life as understood

and defined by humans) which is different from the biocentric perspective of the natural world where matter and energy are continually transformed for the purpose of sustaining life. Can these two perspectives be reconciled?

Both in Biology and Economy utility refers to the ability to perform functions, which largely depend on the input of energy. In consequence, both perspectives can be reconciled from a profitable point of view.

From a biological point of view, energy and matter are fundamental inputs that flow within biological systems in order to perform metabolic functions (e.g., growth, differentiation, reproduction, etc).

During biological processes, energy is converted into matter, which in turn serves as food for the organisms at higher trophic levels.

Moreover, in Economy, matter and energy are also fundamental inputs required for economic growth and social development.

In Economy, the energy is converted into matter during the construction of buildings and the development of infrastructure (technical as well as social) in a similar way that occurs with living systems.

Both in Biology and Economy, efficiency reduces the input of matter and energy required for development and growth, which can be translated in Economy as the ability to deliver services (e.g., mobility, heating, lighting, cooling, etc).

If the pride is taken over by new individuals, what happens to the females? males? cubs?.
Nookie1986 [14]

The cubs are a significant barrier to reproduction when a new male coalition first takes control of a pride. Mothers of surviving cubs won't mate again until their young are at least 18 months old, but if their cubs are lost, they will mate right away.

  • Following that, males leave on their own or are driven out by other men who take control of their pride. It is common for a new male to kill all the cubs when he joins the pride in order to pass his genes on to all future cubs. The major function of males in the pride is defending the pride's territory.
  • Female lionesses will devour the cubs of other pride, but not the cubs of their own pride. The "egalitarianism" of female lions stands in stark contrast to the autocratic behavior of wolves, wild dogs, and several other species, where dominant females prevent subordinates from reproducing.
  • When a female lion gives birth, she leaves the pride and doesn't come back until the cubs are several weeks old. After that, the adult females band together to take care of and protect the young.
