The influence of birth date via body mass on individual fitness in a long‐lived mammalNARA Subscribed
The timing of birth has marked impacts on early life and early development of newborns in many species. In seasonal environments, early‐born offspring often survive and grow better than late‐born offspring, but despite the long‐lasting effects of early conditions on life history traits, the influence of birth date on fitness has rarely been investigated for long‐lived species. In this study, we analyzed both the short‐ and lon...
Variation in adult body mass of roe deer: early environmental conditions influence early and late body growth of femalesNARA Subscribed
There is increasing evidence that environmental conditions experienced early in life can markedly affect an organism's life history, but the pathways by which early environment influences adult phenotype are poorly known. We used long‐term data from two roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) populations (Chizé and Trois‐Fontaines, France) to investigate the direct and indirect (operating through fawn body mass) effects of environmen...
Big mothers invest more in daughters – reversed sex allocation in a weakly polygynous mammalNARA Subscribed
How mothers allocate resources to offspring is central to understanding life history strategies. High quality mothers are predicted to favour investment in sons over daughters when to do so increases inclusive fitness. This is the case in ungulates with polygynous mating systems, where reproductive success is more variable among males than females, but information is scarce on sex allocation in less polygynous species. Here, f...
