Snowshoe hares, Lepus americanus, are the dominant prey species in the boreal forest and
they undergo regular, predator-driven population cycles every 8–11 years. Previous …

With challenges in understanding the multifactorial etiologies of disease and individual
treatment effect heterogeneities over the past four decades, much has been acquired on …

Elevated levels of cytokines in maternal circulation increase the offspring's risk for
neuropsychiatric disease. Because of their low homeostatic levels, circulating maternal …

Predation risk can program offspring behavior, physiology, and fitness through maternal
effect, but most studies have mainly focused on this effect during pregnancy; little is known …

Predation threat impacts prey behavior, physiology, and fitness. Stress-mediated alterations
to the paternal epigenome can be transmitted to offspring via the germline, conferring a …

Stressful events during gestation can have sex-specific effects on brain and behaviour, and
may contribute to some of the differences observed in adult stress responding and …

Elevated maternal glucocorticoid levels during gestation can lead to phenotypic changes in
offspring via maternal effects. Although such effects have traditionally been considered …

Predation is a key organizing force in ecosystems. The threat of predation may act to
programme the endocrine hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis during development to …

Predation risk can affect offspring phenotype and fitness via maternal effects. However, most
studies have mainly focused on the effect of maternal exposure to predation risk on offspring …

Detecting past experiences with predators of a potential mate informs a female about
prevailing ecological threats, in addition to stress-induced phenotypes that may be …
