DOI: 10.1093/icb/icz083
Abstract: A major driver of wildlife responses to climate change will include non-genomic effects, like those mediated through parental behavior and physiology (i.e., parental effects). Parental effects can influence lifetime reproductive success and survival, and thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14177
Abstract: Inbreeding depression occurs when individuals who are closely related mate and produce offspring with reduced fitness. Although inbreeding depression is a genetic phenomenon, the magnitude of inbreeding depression can be influenced by environmental conditions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269585
Abstract: The increase in the area cultivated with vitamin-enriched transgenic crops producing Bt toxin raises the question of whether the addition of vitamins will in any way mitigates the effect of the toxin on the phytophagous… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.872065
Abstract: Parental environmental effects can be a rapid and effective means for clonal plants in response to temporally or spatially varying environments. However, few studies have quantitatively measured the ecological significance of parental effects in aquatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.924001
Abstract: Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We conducted two… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2025.1587907
Abstract: Introduction Parental environments can influence offspring fitness via clonal (asexual) propagation, and such clonal parental effects may vary among plant species and depend on offspring environments as well. Consequently, clonal parental effects may alter competitive… read more here.

Parents know best: transgenerational predator recognition through parental effects
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.9340
Abstract: In highly biodiverse systems, such as coral reefs, prey species are faced with predatory threats from numerous species. Recognition of predators can be innate, or learned, and can help increase the chance of survival. Research… read more here.
