Understanding if and how individuals and populations cope with environmental change is
an enduring question in evolutionary ecology that has renewed importance given the pace …

The concept of stress is notoriously difficult to define, despite its ubiquity in both common
parlance and the scientific literature. Given the clear importance of understanding how …

Mother-infant interactions during the early postnatal period are critical for infant survival and
the scaffolding of infant development. Rodent models are used extensively to understand …

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis can translate, through glucocorticoid
secretion, the prenatal environment to development to produce phenotypes that match …

Exposure of females to stressful conditions during pregnancy or oogenesis has a profound
effect on the phenotype of their offspring. For example, offspring behavioural phenotype may …

Predicted climate change-induced increases in heat waves and hypoxic events will have
profound effects on fishes, yet the capacity of parents to alter offspring phenotype via non …

We experimentally tested the hypothesis that individuals from a single species but
genetically different exposed to the same chemical stress factor are able to realize opposite …

The end of the 20th century was characterised by rapid modifications of ecosystem
functioning under different pressures (such as eutrophication and toxic pollution). Increasing …

Stress experienced during ontogeny can have profound effects on the adult phenotype.
However, stress can also be experienced intergenerationally, where an offspring's …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are central mediators of vertebrate responses to intrinsic and extrinsic
stimuli. Among the sources of variation in circulating GCs are transgenerational effects …
