DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02869-2
Abstract: Abstract Parental care increases offspring survival, but may impose costs by decreasing adult survival or mating opportunities. Because individuals have limited resources, time allocation and risk decisions are expected to vary according to the care… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2019.152284
Abstract: Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is an industrial chemical that is frequently used as a food additive to prevent botulism and enhance glossiness, such as curing meat. In addition, in some regions, water source NaNO2 concentrations exceed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22631-0
Abstract: Conservation breeding programs such as zoos play a major role in preventing extinction, but their sustainability may be impeded by neutral and adaptive population genetic change. These changes are difficult to detect for a single… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71511-y
Abstract: Maternal effects via hormonal transfer from the mother to the offspring provide a tool to translate environmental cues to the offspring. Experimental manipulations of maternally transferred hormones have yielded increasingly contradictory results, which may be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aji.13283
Abstract: Abstract Problem Preterm delivery is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and contributes to delayed physical and cognitive development in children. At present, there is no efficient therapy to prevent preterm labor. A large body… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.801834
Abstract: Colorful traits (i.e., ornaments) that signal quality have well-established relationships with individual condition and physiology. Furthermore, ornaments expressed in females may have indirect fitness effects in offspring via the prenatal physiology associated with, and social… read more here.
