Abstract: PurposeThe substantial literature showing that offspring of parents with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is at increased risk for externalizing psychopathology rarely examines the differential effects of parental and offspring sex. This literature also has other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2018.06.001
Abstract: Humans infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii display a wide variety of abnormal behaviours, from suicide and depression to stuttering. These behaviours have been seen as so serious as to constitute a public health problem.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05161-y
Abstract: Increased mortality has been observed in mothers and fathers with male offspring but little is known regarding specific diseases. In a register linkage we linked women born 1925–1954 having survived to age 50 (n = 661,031) to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/araa131
Abstract: When the fitness costs and benefits of sons and daughters differ, offspring sex ratio manipulation could be an important reproductive tactic. We explored the effects of environment and maternal caring ability on offspring sex to… read more here.

Do mothers bias offspring sex ratios in carotenoid-rich environments?

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arw141
Abstract: If environmental or maternal factors favor the fitness of one sex over the other, theory predicts that mothers should produce more offspring of the sex most likely to benefit from prevailing conditions. For species where… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abg5177
Abstract: Testis-specific lncRNA regulates expression of mouse Y chromosome genes and plays a critical role in offspring sex ratio. Heat shock factor 2 (HSF2) regulates the transcription of the male-specific region of the mouse Y chromosome… read more here.

Abstract: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy occurring in ~10% of women worldwide. Maternal obesity is a risk factor for PE and the effects on offspring are long-standing with increased incidence of cardiometabolic disease… read more here.
