From: Ambient temperature affects postnatal litter size reduction in golden hamsters
Effects of (a) ambient temperature T a and (b) litter size on the daily increase in average pup body mass. Increases in the averaged individual pup body mass in (a) are given as means ± 95% confidence intervals. Significant pairwise comparisons between ambient temperature conditions (Bonferroni corrected post-hoc comparisons by LMM) are indicated by different letters. b Litter size was quantified on postnatal day 1. Regression line is based on parameter estimates of a multifactorial LMM; see text for details on statistics. Averaged daily changes in litter mass and in pup body mass were measured between postnatal days 3 and 5; only cases where no pup loss occurred during this time were considered
