Thus, it is essential to quantify PI according to its ultimate definition, that is, to measure any investment by a parent that enhances offspring fitness at the expense of the parent's expectation for additional offspring (Fig. 1)1,2,4,15. Second, the conflict is among genes, not traits...
As in our prior work,23 we allowed diagnoses that are not typically assigned in the first 18 months of life, to allow for a consistent definition that could be preserved across age groups in future investigations. Exposure Definition Maternal SARS-CoV-2 positivity was defined by the presence ...
