Fig. 2From: Ambient temperature affects postnatal litter size reduction in golden hamstersMothers’ gross energy intake (GEI) during early lactation under different ambient temperature conditions (a: 5 °C; b: 22° C; c: 30 °C). The daily GEI considering the amount of pelleted food and the pups consumed by the mother are given for the first 10 days postpartum, before the young started to feed on pelleted food. Regression lines are based on the back-transformed parameter estimates calculated by LMM; see text for details on statisticsBack to article page
