The coevolution of mammae number and litter size

T. A. Stewart, I. Yoo, N. S. Upham

This study analyzes 2,301 mammal species to show how mammae number and litter size coevolve, finding that mammae number approximates maximum litter size and explains more variation in litter size than other traits.
