Values are given as means ± SEM (range). BMI, body mass index; MAP, mean arterial pressure; NE, norepinephrine; EPI, epinephrine; stress hormone changes (ΔNE, ΔEPI, ΔCORT) refer to the respective diff
Dataframe with the n=185 fGCs samples associated with the grooming data (hours of receiving and giving) and other variables controlled for in the analysis (e.g., reproductive state, environmental cond
Variation in food resources can result in dramatic fluctuations in the body condition of animals dependent on those resources. Decreases in body mass can disrupt patterns of energy allocation and impo
