Evolutionary trade-offs between growth and reproduction under obesogenic conditions: sex-biased skeletal and gonadal maturation in mice
2026-07-21
Abstract excerpt
Adolescence is a brief period during which finite energy resources are reallocated from linear growth toward reproductive maturation. Rising childhood obesity and earlier onset of puberty suggest that modern, energy rich diets may distort these evolved energy allocation rules, but causal mechanisms remain unclear.
