Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on the energetic costs of gestation in southern right whales, detailing how fetal growth rates and birth size correlate with the mother's body size.
- - By analyzing historical whaling data and using photogrammetry, the study quantifies the costs associated with fetal maintenance and growth throughout different trimesters of pregnancy.
- - Findings reveal that while fetal growth is rapid, the majority of gestation costs occur in the last trimester, with the heat of gestation accounting for the highest energy expenditure.
