Early environments can profoundly influence an organism in ways that persist over its life. In
reptiles, early thermal environments (nest temperatures) can impact offspring phenotype and …

Maternal transfer of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) confronts developing embryos with
a pollution legacy and poses conservation concerns due to its potential impacts unto …

Recent global warming threatens many species and has already caused population‐and
species‐level extinctions. In particular, high risks of extinction are expected for isolated …

In species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), global climate change may
result in a strong sex ratio bias that could lead to extinction. The relationship between sex …

To establish the use of eggs as biomonitoring tools for maternal body burdens, we
investigated the mother-to-egg ratio of 56 PCB, 12 OCP and 34 PBDE unique compounds …

Under temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), temperatures experienced by
embryos during development determine the sex of the offspring. Consequently, populations …

Lifespan and aging rates vary considerably across taxa; thus, understanding the factors that
lead to this variation is a primary goal in biology and has ramifications for understanding …

How are organisms responding to climate change? The rapidity with which climate is
changing suggests that, in species with long generation times, adaptive evolution may be …

Conditions experienced early in life can influence phenotypes in ecologically important
ways, as exemplified by organisms with environmental sex determination. For organisms …

Organisms become adapted to their environment by evolving through natural selection, a
process that generally transpires over many generations. Currently, anthropogenically …
