The role of developmental plasticity in eco‐phenotypic population dynamics

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Individual variation in development can strongly impact population density via its impact on demography. When this variation in development is caused by developmental plasticity, the resulting effects on population density are characterised as ‘eco‐phenotypic dynamics ...

Harbingers of change: Towards a mechanistic understanding of anticipatory plasticity in animal systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a strategy by which animals alter behaviour, morphology and/or physiology in response to cues of current conditions to cope with environmental heterogeneity.

Navigating medicine and justice: A life history and phenomenological study of forensic doctors' experiences

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic doctors play a crucial role at the intersection of medicine and law, offering expertise in legal matters. However, their work exposes them to significant emotional and psychological stress, increasing the risk of burnout. Despite the critical nature of their profession, little research has explored how forensic doctors construct their

Impact of maternal stress and nutrition on behavioural and physiological outcomes in young lambs

open access: yes, 2017
18 The prenatal period is of critical importance in defining how individuals respond to their 19 environment throughout life. Stress experienced by pregnant females has detrimental effects 20 on offspring behaviour, health and productivity.

Exploring factors influencing complementary feeding practices in Asia from parents' and caregivers' perspectives: A qualitative systematic review

open access: yesNutrition &Dietetics, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Child malnutrition remains a significant issue worldwide, particularly in developing regions like Asia. Age 6–23 months is critical for preventing malnutrition, yet numerous children within this range do not receive nutritionally sufficient complementary foods.

Microbiological Foundations to Optimise Intrinsic Capacity and Promote Healthy Ageing: An Integration Into the Life Course Approach

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota composition may influence trajectories of intrinsic capacity throughout life. Factors that positively or negatively impact gut microbiota (determining eubiosis or dysbiosis, respectively) can affect health, potentially acting through short‐chain fatty acids and their metabolic and anti‐inflammatory functions.

Maternal Mineral and Bone Metabolism During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Post-Weaning Recovery.

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2016
During pregnancy and lactation, female physiology adapts to meet the added nutritional demands of fetuses and neonates. An average full-term fetus contains ∼30 g calcium, 20 g phosphorus, and 0.8 g magnesium.

Parity Influences the Immune Profile of Human Milk via Increased T Lymphocyte Content

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Breast milk contains immune cells, but the factors influencing their composition are not fully understood. The role of maternal reproductive history in shaping this composition has largely been overlooked. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content of leukocytes, stem cells, and lactocytes in the milk of primiparous mothers compared

Intrapartum Care Experiences Associated With Postpartum Visit Attendance

open access: yesBirth, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The postpartum visit is an important opportunity to prevent pregnancy‐related morbidity and mortality; however, about 1 in 10 birthing people do not attend this visit. Intrapartum care experiences are an understudied factor that may contribute to postpartum healthcare engagement.

The physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and signaling in the central nervous system

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and
