Judicious management of energy can be invaluable for animal survival and reproductive success. Capital breeding mammals typically transfer energy to their young at extremely high rates while undergoing prolonged fasting, making lactation a tremendous...

Reactive stress-coping styles show more variable reproductive expenditure and fitness outcomes (2020)
Journal Article
Twiss, S. D., Shuert, C. R., Brannan, N., Bishop, A. M., & Pomeroy, P. P. (2020). Reactive stress-coping styles show more variable reproductive expenditure and fitness outcomes. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 9550. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-66597-3

Stress-coping styles dictate how individuals react to stimuli and can be measured by the integrative physiological parameter of resting heart-rate variability (HRV); low resting HRV indicating proactive coping styles, while high resting HRV typifies...
