Reproductive processes take time and energy {reproductive effort} away from predation and protection and escape from predation. Reproductive effort is more if reproductive rate is more. Higher non-social animals have low reproductive effort, but higher social animals have high reproductive effort. Societies perform predation and food gathering most, anti-predation next, and reproduction least. Function time varies with food shortage, danger, or mating season.
