Maternal effects can adaptively modulate offspring developmental trajectories in variable
but predictable environments. Hormone synthesis is sensitive to environmental factors, and …

The ability to maintain a (relatively) stable body temperature in a wide range of thermal
environments by use of endogenous heat production is a unique feature of endotherms such as …

Maternal effects are currently acknowledged as important causes of transgenerational phenotypic
variation and a potential mechanism to adapt offspring to predicted environments, thus …

Most of the energy fluxes supporting animal performance flow through mitochondria. Hence,
inter-individual differences in performance might be rooted in inter-individual variations in …

Same data, different analysts: variaon in effect sizes due to analycal decisions in ecology and
evoluonary biology. Page 1 we recommend viewing this manuscript in html format at https://…

This paper describes a novel mass spectrometry based analytical method for analyzing
thyroid hormones (THs). Thyroid hormones play a critical role in the regulation of many …

The underlying mechanisms of the lifelong consequences of prenatal environmental condition
on health and ageing remain little understood. Thyroid hormones (THs) are important …

Developmental plasticity is partly mediated by transgenerational effects, including those
mediated by the maternal endocrine system. Glucocorticoid and thyroid hormones may play …

In oviparous species like birds, eggs provide the direct environment in which embryos are
developing. Mothers may adjust different egg components in different ways in reaction to …

Vertebrates evolved in concert with bacteria and have developed essential mutualistic
relationships. Gut bacteria are vital for the postnatal development of most organs and the immune …
