Limits to sustained energy intake XXVII: trade-offs between first and second litters in lactating mice support the ecological context hypothesis

Published: Jan 1, 2018
Abstract
Increased reproductive effort may lead to trade-offs with future performance and impact offspring, thereby influencing optimal current effort level. We experimentally enlarged or reduced litter size in mice during their first lactation, and then followed them through a successive unmanipulated lactation. Measurements of food intake, body mass, milk energy output (MEO), litter size and litter mass were made. Offspring from the first lactation...
