A simulation model including ovulation rate, potential embryonic viability, and uterine capacity to explain litter size in mice: I. Model development and implementation.

Abstract excerpt

Litter size in mice was studied using a model including ovulation rate, potential embryonic viability, and uterine capacity. Simulated results were compared with experimental results from a selection experiment with mice. The four criteria of selection were selection on number born (LS), selection on an index of ovulation rate and ova success (IX), selection on number born to unilaterally ovariectomized females...
