Private Heat for Public Warmth: How Huddling Shapes Individual Thermogenic Responses of Rabbit Pups

BACKGROUND: Within their litter, young altricial mammals compete for energy (constraining growth and survival) but cooperate for warmth. The aim of this study was to examine the mechanisms by which huddling in altricial infants influences individual heat production and loss, while providing public w...
