Maternal effects and urbanization: Variation of yolk androgens and immunoglobulin in city and forest blackbirds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6058
Abstract: Abstract Wildlife inhabiting urban environments exhibit drastic changes in morphology, physiology, and behavior. It has often been argued that these phenotypic responses could be the result of micro‐evolutionary changes following the urbanization process. However, other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-021-00431-y
Abstract: Maternal effects are an important evolutionary force that may either facilitate adaptation to a new environment or buffer against unfavourable conditions. The degree of variation in traits expressed by siblings from different mothers is often… read more here.

Genomic imprinting analyses identify maternal effects as a cause of phenotypic variability in type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68212-x
Abstract: Imprinted genes, giving rise to parent-of-origin effects (POEs), have been hypothesised to affect type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, maternal effects may also play a role. By using a mixed model that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-89185-5
Abstract: Findings from gut microbiome studies are strongly influenced by both experimental and analytical factors that can unintentionally bias their interpretation. Environment is also critical. Both co-housing and maternal effects are expected to affect microbiomes and… read more here.

The role of maternal age and context-dependent maternal effects in the offspring provisioning of a long-lived marine teleost
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170966
Abstract: 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. From an evolutionary perspective, maternal age effects result in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12896
Abstract: In many birds, hatching asynchrony is a common phenomenon, primarily driven by patterns of incubation behaviour. However, experimental results in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) have shown that asynchrony is reduced by intrinsic properties of later… read more here.

Age-related prenatal maternal effects and postnatal breeding experience have different influences on nestling development in an altricial passerine

DOI: 10.1111/jav.01202
Abstract: Reproductive success and nestling performance are related to the age of parents across several vertebrate taxa. However, because breeding experience and prenatal maternal investment in reproduction often covary, the source of these age-related differences can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14525
Abstract: Maternal effects, where the performance of offspring is determined by the condition of their mother, are widespread and may in some cases be adaptive. The crustacean Daphnia magna shows strong maternal effects: offspring size at… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2021.668520
Abstract: In humans, behavioral laterality and hemispheric asymmetries are part of a complex biobehavioral system in which genetic factors have been repeatedly proposed as developmental determinants of both phenomena. However, no model solely based on genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.949752
Abstract: Although there is an increasing debate about ecological consequences of environmental predictability for plant phenotype and fitness, the effect of predictability of parental environments on the offspring is still indefinite. To clarify the role of… read more here.
