Social nonhuman animals are powerful models for studying underlying factors related to
lifelong health outcomes following early life adversities (ELAs). ELAs can be linked to …

Across animal societies, individuals invest time and energy in social interactions. The social
landscape that emerges from these interactions can then generate barriers that limit the …

Primate offspring often depend on their mothers well beyond the age of weaning, and
offspring that experience maternal death in early life can suffer substantial reductions in …

Adverse conditions in early life can have negative consequences for adult health and
survival in humans and other animals. What variables mediate the relationship between …

The mother-offspring relationship is paramount in most mammals and infant survival often
depends on maternal investment. In species with prolonged periods of development or co …

Mothers are crucial for mammals' survival before nutritional independence, but many social
mammals reside with their mothers long after. In these species the social adversity caused …

Many nonhuman animals have been documented to take an interest in their dead. A few
socially complex and cognitively advanced taxa—primates, cetaceans, and proboscideans …

Social relationships have physiological impacts. Here, we investigate whether loss of the
mother/offspring relationship has lasting effects on fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) …

Prolonged maternal care is vital to the well-being of many long-lived mammals. 1 The
premature loss of maternal care, ie, orphaning, can reduce offspring survival even after …

Cohort effects, reflecting early adversity or advantage, have persisting consequences for
growth, reproductive onset, longevity, and lifetime reproductive success. In species with …
