DOI: 10.1002/dev.21814
Abstract: The environment may modulate genetic influences on behavioral expression. We investigated whether the physical rearing environment modulates anxiety and exploratory behavior in four populations, representing three species, of the striped mouse Rhabdomys. One population originated… read more here.

Stoichiometric traits of stickleback: Effects of genetic background, rearing environment, and ontogeny

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2802
Abstract: Abstract Phenotypes can both evolve in response to, and affect, ecosystem change, but few examples of diverging ecosystem‐effect traits have been investigated. Bony armor traits of fish are good candidates for this because they evolve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0033291720000963
Abstract: Abstract Background Although alcohol use disorder (AUD) runs strongly within families, studies examining the impact of rearing environment, unconfounded by genetic effects, are rare and, to date, contradictory. We here seek to conduct such a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.205112
Abstract: ABSTRACT Memory formation is influenced by a variety of factors, including the environmental conditions in which an organism is reared. Here, we studied the memory-forming ability of the lab-bred B-strain of Lymnaea stagnalis following a… read more here.

Limited effects of the maternal rearing environment on the behaviour and fitness of an insect herbivore and its natural enemy

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209965
Abstract: The maternal rearing environment can affect offspring fitness or phenotype indirectly via ‘maternal effects’ and can also influence a mother’s behaviour and fecundity directly. However, it remains uncertain how the effects of the maternal rearing… read more here.
