The relationship between phenotypic variation among offspring and mother body mass in wild boar: evidence of coin-flipping?

1. In highly variable environments, the optimal reproductive tactics of iteroparous organisms should minimize variance in yearly reproductive success to maximize the long-term average reproductive success. To minimize among-year variation in reproductive success, individuals can either minimize the...
