Predictors and consequences of gestation length in wild chimpanzees

2022-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Objectives Energetics are widely recognized to influence timing of birth in humans and other eutherian mammals, yet considerable variation exists in the relationship between energetic constraints and gestation length. In humans, poor nutrition and short inter‐gestational intervals (IGIs) are associated with shorter gestations. In other mammals, lower energy availability is usually associated with longer g...
