Can number and size of offspring increase simultaneously? - a central life-history trade-off reconsidered
BACKGROUND: To maximize their fitness, parents are assumed to allocate their resources optimally between number and size of offspring. Although this fundamental life-history trade-off has been subject to long standing interest, its genetic basis, especially in wild mammals, still remains unresolved....
