Metabolic rates are linked to key life-history traits that are thought to set the pace of life and
affect fitness, yet the role that parents may have in shaping the metabolism of their offspring …

Parental experiences can lead to changes in offspring phenotypes through
transgenerational plasticity (TGP). TGP is expected to play a role in improving the responses …

Dietary restriction in the form of fasting is a putative key to a healthier and longer life, but
these benefits may come at a trade‐off with reproductive fitness and may affect the following …

Under environmental change, the relationship between phenotype and fitness can change
rapidly, leaving populations vulnerable. Plasticity within and between generations could …

Each parent can influence offspring phenotype via provisioning of the zygote or sex-specific
DNA methylation. Transgenerational plasticity may therefore depend on the environmental …

Metabolic rate is considered to determine the energetic investment placed into life-history
traits, regulating the speed of an organism's life-cycle and forming the so called “pace-of …

Parent-of-origin effects, whereby specific phenotypes are differentially inherited paternally or
maternally, provide useful clues to better understand transgenerational effect transmission …

There are two heuristic explanations proposed for the evolution of endothermy in
vertebrates: a correlated response to selection for stable body temperatures, or as a …

The parental environment can alter offspring phenotypes via the transfer of non‐genetic
information. Parental effects may be viewed as an extension of (within‐generation) …

Early developmental environments can shape how organisms respond to later
environments, but despite the potential for this phenomenon to alter the evolution of …
