Sexual conflict in twins: male co-twins reduce fitness of female Soay sheep
Males and females often have different requirements during early development, leading to sex-specific interactions between developing offspring. In polytocous mammals, competition for limited resources in utero may be asymmetrical between the sexes, and androgens produced by male foetuses could have...
