Figure 3.

Pup feeding contributions of (a) daughters, but not (b) sons, from mothers treated with cortisol during pregnancy were significantly higher compared with from control (females: z = −3.12, p = 0.0018; males: z = −1.14, p = 0.25) or untreated (none) litters (females: z = −3.49, p = 0.0005; males: z = −1.03, p = 0.3, table 5). Data are relative pup feeding contributions from offspring from cortisol-treated (females: n = 16 estimates; males: n = 26), control (females: n = 16; males: n = 10) and untreated litters (females: n = 64; males: n = 71). Raw data are shown (full results in table 5). Boxplots show median (solid horizontal line), mean (grey diamonds) and first (25%) and third (75%) quartiles.
