Developmental stressors are increasingly recognised for their pervasive influence on the
ecology and evolution of animals. In particular, many studies have focused on how …

Evolution of adaptation requires predictability and recurrence of functional contexts. Yet
organisms live in multifaceted environments that are dynamic and ever changing, making it …

Corticosterone plays a central role in maintaining homeostasis, promoting energy
acquisition, and regulating the stress response in birds. Exposure to elevated levels of …

Predicted climate change-induced increases in heat waves and hypoxic events will have
profound effects on fishes, yet the capacity of parents to alter offspring phenotype via non …

Climate change is leading to altered temperature regimes which are impacting aquatic life,
particularly for ectothermic fish. The impacts of environmental stress can be translated …

The maternal match hypothesis predicts that maternal exposure to a stressor may help
prepare offspring to cope with the same disturbance in later life. Although there is support for …

Elevated temperatures resulting from climate change are expected to disproportionately
affect ectotherms given their biological function has a direct link to environmental …

Maternally derived hormones induce variation in offspring phenotype, with consequences
that can carry over into post-natal life and even into adulthood. In birds, maternal egg …

As a key endocrine axis involved in responding to stress, the hypothalamic–pituitary–
interrenal axis plays dual roles in mobilizing energy and maintaining ionic/osmotic balance …

The selection for a single organismal trait like growth in breeding programs of farmed
aquaculture species can counterintuitively lead to lowered harvestable biomass. We outbred …
