- W2044773609 abstract "We investigated how resources are allocated to reproduction and how vari- ations in resource availability influence reproductive allocation, offspring number, and offspring size in guppies (Poecilia reticulate). Our goal was to evaluate how plastic these variables are in response to environmental variation and to characterize the nature of this plasticity. Female guppies which had just given birth (litter 1) were assigned to either high or low levels of food availability until they gave birth to their next litter (litter 2, interval 1). They were then randomly reassigned to either high or low food with the constraint that there be equal numbers of individuals in each of four treatments: high-high, high-low, low-high, and low-low. They were maintained on this level of food availability until they produced their next litter (litter 3, interval 2). We analyzed variables that characterized the female after the birth of the third litter and the offspring in the third litter. These were two-way analyses, with intervals 1 and 2 as the main effects and high vs. low food as the levels of each effect. The qualities of the third litter were influenced by both interbrood intervals, indicating that the resources used for producing the litter were derived from both intervals. Specifically, higher food availability during either interval resulted in a significant increase in the number of offspring in litter 3, independent of the size of the mother. This result indicates that the number of offspring produced in a litter will be a function of both the immediate and the past environment. Lower food during either interval resulted in an increase in the number of days between the second and third litters, indicating that, if resource availability is low, the female may delay the initiation of the next litter, allowing her to acquire more resources. Resource availability during both intervals also influenced how resources were allocated to individual offspring. Females responded to low food during the first interbrood interval by producing heavier offspring in litter 3. This increase in mass was almost entirely at- tributable to an increase in fat reserves. Such a result could represent adaptive plasticity, if it can be demonstrated that maternal fitness increases through the production of heavier offspring in a low-food environment." @default.
