I believe that the term Marginal Value Theorem is one from economics, and that the current article addressing ecology is an application of economics to a natural science. TelecomNut ^(talk)

I assume it might just be the other way round, considering the MVT is being taught as part of every basic biology/ecology lecture at university. The full name is "Charnov's Marginal Value Theorem" if you should feel like doing some research on your own. If I remember correctly it should even be referred to as such in Campbell/Reece. --95.222.39.127 (talk) 09:36, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just realised even WP has some background info in the article's sources: Eric Charnov. So ecology it is. --95.222.39.127 (talk) 09:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
