AbstractWhite et al. (Science 377, p. 834–839, 2022) propose that reproduction reduces the somatic growth of animals. This contradicts the common observations that non-reproducing adults are not larger than those that reproduced as well as the very example the authors provide of a fish that reproduces while its growth continues to accelerate, which is common in larger fish.
