Genotype-dependent responses to levels of sibling competition over maternal resources in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Research on phenotypic plasticity has often focused on how a given genotype responds to the changing physical environments such as temperature or diet. However, for many species the social environment has an equally important role because of competition for resources. During early development, the level of competition for limited (maternally provided) resources will often depend critically on the number of...
