Mother rats interact differently with male amd female offspring.
Abstract
Lactating Long-Evans rats were observed to interact differently with male and female pups during the first 18 days postpartum. Differences in the mother's behavior were related to the gender composition of her litter (GHL), to the sex of a single introduced pup, and to the sex of individual pups within her litter. Major differences were the greater time spent in licking the anogenital region of own male pups and the greater stimulation of anogenital licking by male foster pups, an effect that did not interact with GHL or age of pup. The GHL interacted with day of testing to affect nest building and time spent near pups.

Males receive more maternal care from their mothers compared to females.
“One potential explanation is that males, compared to females, receive more maternal care from their mothers (Moore and Morelli, 1979; Van Hasselt et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
