尽管普遍假设父亲的投资是大量的在我们的物种，以前的研究表明，混合的结果，父亲对后代的生存和生殖结果的影响。使用来自英国男性的大量代表性样本的数据，我们测试了父亲的缺席是否与男孩中与生殖相关的事件的时间有关，同时控制各种暗示童年早期逆境的线索。我们进一步测试了在不同的童年阶段失去父亲是否重要，以评估早期生活是否是最重要的时期，或者在童年后期是否可以看到影响。结果表明，7岁之前父亲的缺席与早期生殖有关，而11岁至16岁之间的父亲缺席仅与延迟的声音中断（青春期的代表）有关，即使在调整了其他表明童年逆境的因素之后。我们的结论是，父亲对男性生殖结果的影响，独立于其他童年逆境，这些影响是敏感的父亲缺席的时间。
Despite the widespread assumption that paternal investment is substantial in our species, previous studies have shown mixed results in relation to the impact of fathers on both offspring survival and reproductive outcomes. Using data from a large representative sample of British men, we tested whether father absence is associated with the timing of reproduction-related events among boys, while controlling for various cues denoting early childhood adversity. We further tested whether the loss of the father at different childhood stages matters, so as to assess whether early life is the most important period or if effects can be seen during later childhood. The results show that father absence before age seven is associated with early reproduction, while father absence between ages 11 and 16 only is associated with delayed voice-breaking (a proxy for puberty), even after adjusting for other factors denoting childhood adversity. We conclude that fathers do exert an influence on male reproductive outcomes, independently of other childhood adversities and that these effects are sensitive to the timing of father absence.
