Abstract
In a study of 337 individuals, the [female] offspring of 95 litters, variability of 1st oestrus was almost as great for litter mates as for non-litter mates, the correlation among the former being .22 [plus or minus] .03. The correlation of body weights among litter mates ranged from .68 [plus or minus] .01 at the age of 30 days to .44 [plus or minus] .02 at 80 days, and variability was much less among litter mates than among non-litter mates.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
