Relative priorities between the current and future litters in rabbit females. Scheme representing the changes in the relative priorities between the litter being nursed (dotted lines) and the litter under gestation (solid lines) for V16 (orange) and V36 (red) females; two consecutive cycles are represented. Twenty generations of selection for litter size at weaning resulted in females that are able to change priorities rapidly between the current and future litters (reprinted with permission of Pascual et al. [18]).
