Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Autism Screening in the First Year and Beyond: Comparison of Multiple Measures
ABSTRACT Autism screening aids in early detection and diagnosis. Several screeners are available for toddlers 16 months and older, but there is little data on the accuracy of screening measures used in the first year of life. A community sample (N = 1641) completed three screeners—M‐CHAT‐R, ITC, VIRSA—online at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months of age ...
