Sexual dimorphism is canonically understood as a fixed adult trait, scaled by gonadal hormones at puberty, but whether its magnitude is shaped earlier in life by juvenile nutrition during the post-wea...

Animals must align intestinal plasticity and feeding with reproductive state, yet the checkpoint that gates these adaptations is unknown. Here we show that an ovary-to-enteric-neuron axis gates the on...
