... vivipara ) in a two-by-two factorial design manipulating both hydric and thermal conditions, for the first time. We collected blood samples and morphological measurements during early pregnancy and post-parturition to investigate how water availability, temperature and a combination of the two influence...

... remain poorly described in many vertebrate groups. For example, although viviparity has evolved many times in vertebrates, the relationship between immune function and pregnancy has been disproportionately studied in placental mammals. To examine the energetic costs of immune activation...

... their investment in each litter, rather than reducing offspring size to offset offspring number. In addition, although Dlk1 null mothers enter pregnancy with increased adipose stores, they gain less adipose mass during pregnancy than wild-type mothers. Altogether, females without a functional copy of Dlk1...

...-set target on running wheels to obtain ad libitum access to food. The voluntary distance run decreased sharply during pregnancy and peak lactation. When lactating females were provided with 80% of their estimated food requirements, and had to run pre-set distances of 2, 4 or 6 km before given access...
