Do gravid females become selfish? Female allocation of energy during gestation.

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Itonaga Keisuke, Jones Susan M, Wapstra Erik

Abstract excerpt

Net energy availability depends on plasma corticosterone concentrations, food availability, and their interaction. Limited net energy availability requires energy trade-offs between self-maintenance and reproduction. This is important in matrotrophic viviparous animals because they provide large...
