Apports nutritionnels, dépense et bilan énergétiques chez l’homme et les primates non-humains : aspects méthodologiques by Laurent Tarnaud, Cécile Garcia, Sabrina Krief, Bruno Simmen

“…Besides interspecific comparisons that provide a background to assess the evolution of energy strategies among primates, contrasting the energy fluxes at the population or group level highlights the range of bio-cultural adjustments of humans and non-human primate species to their social and natural environment.The present review distinguishes methods according to the energetic parameters the researcher wishes to describe and quantify: food intake, energy input, energy expenditure associated with behavioural activities, nutritional status and body composition as well as the role of secondary compounds on food items selection and the medicinal properties of plants used. Originally, methods used in the field of energetics were mainly descriptive. …”
