Revisiting mechanisms and functions of prenatal hormone-mediated maternal effects using avian species as a model
Maternal effects can adaptively modulate offspring developmental trajectories in variable but
predictable environments. Hormone synthesis is sensitive to environmental factors, and …

K Bebbington, TGG Groothuis - Biological Reviews, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Maternal effects, or the influence of maternal environment and phenotype on offspring
phenotype, may allow mothers to fine‐tune their offspring's developmental trajectory and …

Maintenance costs of male dominance and sexually antagonistic selection in the wild
Variation in dominance status determines male mating and reproductive success, but
natural selection for male dominance can be detrimental or antagonistic for female …

Genetic variation in maternal yolk testosterone allocation predicts female mating decisions in Japanese quail
D Ledecka, M Zeman, M Okuliarova - Animal behaviour, 2019 - Elsevier
Maternal reproductive effort can be adjusted through the transfer of hormones into the eggs,
where they influence embryo development, mediating short-and long-term maternal effects …

Matrilineal inheritance of a key mediator of prenatal maternal effects
Sex-linkage is predicted to evolve in response to sex-specific or sexually antagonistic
selection. In line with this prediction, most sex-linked genes are associated with reproduction …
