The effect of choice and no-choice access on host (Aphis fabae) instars preference, in different ages and sizes of Lysiphlebus fabarum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2016 The influence of parasitoids on population dynamics is affected by host instar preference. The preference pattern of host instars is not fixed and is modified by the availability and relative abundance of host instars, intensity of defensive behaviors in

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We

Ewe-lamb bonding behaviours at birth are affected by maternal undernutrition in pregnancy [PDF]
, 2003 Maternal undernutrition in pregnancy results in low birth-weights and impaired postnatal survival in sheep. Largely anecdotal evidence suggests that the expression of appropriate maternal and neonate behaviours may also be disrupted by undernutrition. In

Maternal Effects and Parent-Offspring Conflict [PDF]
Evolution, 2017 AbstractMaternal effects can provide offspring with reliable information about the environment they are likely to experience, but also offer scope for maternal manipulation of young when interests diverge between parents and offspring. To predict the impact and outcome of parent-offspring conflict, we model the evolution of maternal effects on local ...
