Embryonic development is one of the most sensitive and critical stages when maternal effects may influence the offspring's phenotype. In birds and other oviparous species …
The thermal sensitivity of early life stages can play a fundamental role in constraining species distributions. For egg‐laying ectotherms, cool temperatures often extend …
Developmental plasticity is partly mediated by transgenerational effects, including those mediated by the maternal endocrine system. Glucocorticoid and thyroid hormones may play …
Maternal signals shape embryonic development, and in turn post-natal phenotypes. RNA deposition is one such method of maternal signalling and circadian rhythms are one trait …

Prenatal maternal stress (PMS) is known to shape the phenotype of the first generation offspring (F1) but according to some studies, it could also shape the phenotype of the …
The early-life environment is known to affect later-life health and disease, which could be mediated by the early-life programming of telomere length, a key hallmark of ageing …
In birds, patterns of development of the adrenocortical response to stressors vary among individuals, types of stressors, and species. Since there are benefits and costs of exposure …
Simple Summary Nutritional cues during embryonic development significantly impact growth, although the mechanism behind this influence remains unclear. Amino acids such …

Maternal hormones, such as thyroid hormones (THs) transferred to embryos and eggs, are key signaling pathways for mediating maternal effects. To be able to respond to maternal …
