Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Consistent and flexible maternal effects: how the environments of a mother influence the offspring phenotype

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environment experienced by a mother influences offspring phenotype through maternal effects, which can have significant adaptive benefits for both the mother and the offspring. However, the ways in which maternal environments influence offspring development are extremely diverse, and empirical studies using an outcome‐based approach often ...

Nutritional Deficiencies Following Bariatric Surgery: A Rapid Systematic Review of Case Reports of Vitamin and Micronutrient Deficiencies Presenting More Than Two Years Post‐Surgery

Clinical Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery is the most clinically‐ and cost‐effective intervention for severe obesity. However, without adequate follow‐up, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Patients require life‐long nutritional supplements and follow‐up to prevent nutritional deficiencies from developing.

Litter sex composition influences plasma prolactin levels but not the melanin‐concentrating hormone immunoreactive neurons in the medial preoptic area of late lactating Long‐Evans rats

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Influence of litter sex composition on maternal prolactin levels and MCH‐immunoreactive (MCH‐ir) neurons in the vmMPOA of lactating rats. The sex ratio of litters affects maternal physiology, specifically increasing prolactin levels and altering weight gain patterns, while food and water intake and MCH‐ir neuron counts remain unchanged.
