Intra- and trans-generational costs of reduced female body size caused by food limitation early in life in mites.
Food limitation early in life may be compensated for by developmental plasticity resulting in accelerated development enhancing survival at the expense of small adult body size. However and especially for females in non-matching maternal and offspring environments, being smaller than the standard ma...
