Maternal effects, paternal effects and sexual selection

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2001
Maternal and paternal effects can lead to complicated evolutionary dynamics, including evolution in the opposite direction to selection. Recent studies demonstrate that parental effects on sexually selected traits, as well as preferences for those traits, might be large.

Effects of Paternal Alcohol Consumption in Mice

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 1987
Male mice were divided into four groups, one group was given ad libitum access to a liquid alcohol diet containing 35% ethanol derived calories (EDC). A second group was pair fed an isocaloric control diet containing 17.5% EDC whereas a third was similarly treated with a 0% EDC diet for a minimum of 42 days.

Paternal age effect in Down's syndrome

Annals of Human Genetics, 1977
Increasing incidence of Down's syndrome with advancing paternal age for given maternal age has been demonstrated. Comparisons are made between an almost complete Down's syndrome sample from the Copenhagen Metropolitan Area and a randomly selected sample of births from the same area and the same time period.

Separation between maternal and paternal effects on offspring following exposure of adult red flour beetles to two stressors

Ecological Entomology, 2019
1. The contribution of non‐genetic maternal effects to offspring performance is well established and the evidence for paternal effects has also been increasing recently.

Predator‐induced maternal and paternal effects independently alter sexual selection

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2019
Parental experience alters survival‐related phenotypes of offspring in both adaptive and nonadaptive ways, yielding rapid inter‐ and transgenerational fitness effects.

Paternal Diet and Obesity: Effects on Reproduction

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2017
AbstractAlthough most research has focused on maternal obesity, there is growing data to indicate that obesity in the father can affect reproduction. Supporting data come from both mouse and human studies. Murine studies found that obese male mice exhibited decreased motility and reduced hyperactivated progression versus lean mice.

The effect of paternal age on assisted reproduction outcome

Fertility and Sterility, 2011
To summarize the current knowledge about the association between paternal age and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In contrast to the extensive investigation of the relationship between maternal age and the success of ART, there are few studies examining the effect of paternal age on ART outcomes.Systematic review of the literature.

Paternal THC exposure in rats causes long-lasting neurobehavioral effects in the offspring.

Neurotoxicology and Teratology, 2019
Developmental neurotoxicity of a wide variety of toxicants mediated via maternal exposure during gestation is very well established. In contrast, the impacts of paternal toxicant exposure on offspring neurobehavioral function are much less well studied ...

Maternal and paternal stimulation: Mediators of parenting intervention effects on preschoolers' development

Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2019
This study examined mothers' and fathers' developmentally stimulating parenting practices (i.e., engagement in play and communication activities) as mediators through which an early parenting intervention improved later cognitive and socioemotional ...

Untreated perinatal paternal depression: Effects on offspring.

Psychiatry Research, 2017
Transition to parenthood represents an important life event which increases vulnerability to psychological disorders. Aim of this article is to analyze all studies which investigated the effects of untreated perinatal paternal depression in offspring.
