Body mass of pups raised for the first 8–10 days post-partum by chronically stressed (CVS, n=14 pups from 8 litters) separation control (SC, n=11 pups from 7 litters), or unmanipulated control (UC, n=13 pups from 7 litters) fathers. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Pups’ body mass increased over time (main effect of time: P<0.001; see results section for time point comparisons) but was not influenced by fathers’ treatment condition. Fathers were euthanized 8 days after the start of the experiment (morning of postnatal day 8, 9, or 10 for pups); pups were euthanized on postnatal day 20.
