Causes and consequences of variation in offspring body mass: meta-analyses in birds and mammals
Early survival is highly variable and strongly influences observed population growth rates in most vertebrate populations. One of the major potential drivers of survival variation among juveniles is body mass. Heavy juveniles are better fed and have greater body reserves, and are thus assumed to sur...
