Sibling Competition & Growth Tradeoffs. Biological vs. Statistical Significance.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Kramer Karen L, Veile Amanda, Otárola-Castillo Erik

Abstract excerpt

Early childhood growth has many downstream effects on future health and reproduction and is an important measure of offspring quality. While a tradeoff between family size and child growth outcomes is theoretically predicted in high-fertility societies, empirical evidence is mixed. This is often attributed to phenotypic variation in parental condition. However, inconsistent study results may also arise because...
