Are there academic references on the theory of Animal Economy?

I'm fact-checking a section of my thesis and need authoritative, peer-reviewed sources that clearly define and outline this theory. I want to avoid encyclopedic or oversimplified summaries.

For verified, citable explanations, I recommend you anchor your work in the following peer-reviewed sources: 1) The introductory chapter in "The Animal Economy" edited by Cheung (published by Routledge) is a standard reference. 2) The entry on "Animal Economy" in the "Encyclopedia of Early Modern Philosophy and the Sciences" (Springer, 2020) is recent and authoritative. 3) For a concise journal article, see "The Economy of Nature" by J. Andrew Mendelsohn in "History of Science" (Vol. 37, 1999). These provide the scholarly consensus and will give you a firm platform for your own analysis, ensuring your thesis meets rigorous historiographic standards.
