Marchand: compared to those born to a bighorn ewe when she's young, lambs born when she's old have shorter lives, wean fewer lambs. At any age, ewes that live longer have lambs that live longer and have higher reproductive success. url:https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/36/4/araf046/8126721
Offspring longevity for bighorn sheep at Ram Mountain, Alberta, Canada (1971-2013). Solid lines represent model predictions for female offspring under average female density conditions (results for male offspring are reported in Table 1). Shaded bands represent 95% confidence intervals while gray lines are modeled trends for individual mothers. (A) Offspring longevity as a function of maternal age at birth.

🥳 After spending years looking for a copy of the 1st or 2nd editions of 'Cladistics' in reasonable condition (and price...), I've completed the set of both 'Cladistics' and 'Biological Systematics' 🤓

(And now I know what the 'removed from stock' stamps of two London libraries look like!)
