Heat-induced maternal effects shape avian eggshell traits and embryo development and phenotype at high incubation temperatures. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Phenotypic plasticity is an important avenue by which organisms may persist in the face of rapid environmental change. Environmental cues experienced by the mother can also influence the phenotype of offspring, a form of plasticity called maternal ...

Plastic maternal effects of social density on reproduction and fitness in the least killifish, Heterandria formosa. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Environmental parental effects, also known as transgenerational plasticity, are widespread in plants and animals. Less well known is whether those effects contribute to maternal fitness in the same manner in different populations.

Maternal effects and the outcome of interspecific competition. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Maternal environmental effects create lagged population responses to past environments. Although they are ubiquitous and vary in expression across taxa, it remains unclear if and how their presence alters competitive interactions in ecological ...

How to Account for Past Selection When Maternal Effects Are Cascading. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMany forms of maternal effects are said to be ‘cascading’, in which an individual's phenotype is partially a function of its mother's phenotype. The mother's phenotype is also partially a function of the grandmother's phenotype, and so each individual ...

eLife, 2022 Maternal genetic effects can be defined as the effect of a mother’s genotype on the phenotype of her offspring, independent of the offspring’s genotype.

Population Density and Temperature Influence the Return on Maternal Investment in Wild House Mice
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In mammals, reproduction is influenced by sexual competition, temperature and food availability and these factors might be crucial already during early life.

Fishes, 2023 To screen the quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genes related to the growth of Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) after removing the maternal effect, we established a family of these carps.

Toxins, 2021 Cyanobacterial blooms are an omnipresent and well-known result of eutrophication and climate change in aquatic systems. Cyanobacteria produce a plethora of toxic secondary metabolites that affect humans, animals and ecosystems. Many cyanotoxins primarily

Hatching Failure in Wood Turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) Is Linked to Maternal Identity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) have been suffering range-wide population declines since the 1900s. Most monitoring efforts of these turtles involve population surveys to assess population size and viability but relatively few investigate rates of ...
