The social environment is one of the primary sources of challenging stimuli that can induce a
stress response in animals. It comprises both short-term and stable interactions among …

Disentangling the interaction between the genetic basis and environmental context
underlying phenotypic variation is critical for understanding organismal evolution …

The thermal environment experienced by developing embryos can influence the utilization
of maternally provisioned resources. Despite being particularly consequential for oviparous …

The phenotypes observed in urban and rural environments are often distinct; however, it
remains unclear how these novel urban phenotypes arise. Hormone-mediated maternal …

Maternal stress during reproduction can influence how offspring respond to stress later in
life. Greater lifetime exposure to glucocorticoid hormones released during stress is linked to …

Environmental changes can be stressors (altered habitat and food supply, climate change,
etc.) to wild animals. Stressors trigger the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis to …

There is growing concern that anthropogenic noise has various deleterious effects on
wildlife in urban environments. In humans, it has been suggested that anthropogenic noise …

This study was carried out at the Poultry Research Station/Agricultural Research
Department/Ministry of Agriculture, to investigate the effects of implanting genistein (GE) for …

Animals exist in dynamic environments that may affect both their own fitness and that of their
offspring. Maternal effects might allow mothers to prepare their offspring for the environment …

Climate change increases the frequency and severity of environmental stressors in aquatic
habitats including elevated temperatures and hypoxia. The maternal match hypothesis …
