DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key mechanism for regulating gene expression in animals
and levels are known to change with age. Recent studies have used DNAm changes as a …

The chronological age of an individual animal predicts many of its biological characteristics,
and these in turn influence population‐level ecological processes. Animal age information …

Age is a fundamental aspect of animal ecology, but is difficult to determine in many species.
Humpback whales exemplify this as they have a lifespan comparable to humans, mature …

Age structure is a fundamental aspect of animal population biology. Age is strongly related
to individual physiological condition, reproductive potential and mortality rate. Currently …

Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in all poultry corn-soybean based diets. The
objective of this study was to determine the effect of supplementation of L-methionine (L …

Crustaceans are notoriously difficult to age because of their indeterminate growth and the
moulting of their exoskeleton throughout life. The poor knowledge of population age …

As an important epigenetic modification, DNA methylation is involved in many biological
processes such as animal cell differentiation, embryonic development, genomic imprinting …

Previous studies have reported that perinatal nicotine exposure causes development of
hypertensive phenotype in adult offspring. Aims The present study was to determine whether …

Background Evidence has supported a role of DNA methylation in the pathophysiology of
mood disorders. The purpose of the current study is to examine 5-methylcytosine (5-mc) and …

Simple Summary Forced molting refers to the systemic stress response of laying hens
caused by some externally imposed artificial measures (such as starvation), resulting in …
