Dietary supply with polyunsaturated fatty acids and resulting maternal effects influence host -- parasite interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Interactions between hosts and parasites can be substantially modulated by host nutrition. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary nutrients; they are indispensable as structural components of cell membranes and as precursors for ...

Separating Paternal and Maternal Contributions to Thermal Transgenerational Plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Climate change is rapidly altering the thermal environment in terrestrial and aquatic systems. Transgenerational thermal plasticity (TGP) – which occurs when the temperatures experienced by the parental generation prior to the fertilization of gametes ...

A loss of heterozygosity, a loss in competition? The effects of inbreeding, pre‐ and postnatal conditions on nestling development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2016
The early developmental trajectory is affected by genetic and environmental factors that co‐depend and interact often in a complex way. In order to distinguish their respective roles, we used canaries (Serinus canaria) of different genetic backgrounds ...

Inter-individual variability of early life stages of a model marine invertebrate with a bi-phasic life cycle is shaped by contrasting oceanographic conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Inter-individual variability plays a key role in species resilience. This, however, is difficult to assess in marine invertebrates with complex life cycles due to the inherent difficulty of sampling individuals in oceanic environments throughout their ...

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

Long-term exposure to diesel exhaust particles induces concordant changes in DNA methylation and transcriptome in human adenocarcinoma alveolar basal epithelial cells

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin
Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEP), which contain hazardous compounds, are emitted during the combustion of diesel. As approximately one-third of the vehicles worldwide use diesel, there are growing concerns about the risks posed by DEP to human ...

Genetic response to selection on reindeer calf weights

open access: yesRangifer, 2003
Selection response was investigated after 11 years of selection in the herding district of Ruvhten Sijte in Sweden (63°N,12°E) by comparing the weights of calves owned by herders applying selection with the weights of calves owned by herders not applying

The role of maternal age and context-dependent maternal effects in the offspring provisioning of a long-lived marine teleost [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Despite evidence of maternal age effects in a number of teleost species, there have been challenges to the assertion that maternal age intrinsically influences offspring quality.

Maternal effects in nematodes: evidence, relevance & importance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Maternal effects are ubiquitous in free-living organisms, with parent-environment interactions affecting offspring life-history traits and fitness. These effects have been demonstrated in a wide variety of organisms, including mammals, insects and plants.

Identifying Patterns of Hospitalizations Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population‐Based Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experience more hospitalizations than the general population. We aimed to identify distinct hospitalization patterns among Queensland CCSs and the associated characteristics. Methods Cases (aged ≤14 years) diagnosed between 1995 and 2019 while residents of Queensland were identified through the ...
