Maternal effects

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Maternal glucocorticoids have minimal effects on HPA axis activity and behavior of juvenile wild North American red squirrels
    Sarah E. Westrick, Freya van Kesteren, Stan Boutin, Jeffrey E. Lane, Andrew G. McAdam, Ben Dantzer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 : jeb.236620 doi: 10.1242/jeb.236620 Published 1 April 2021
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Plasticity in parental effects confers rapid larval thermal tolerance in the estuarine anemone Nematostella vectensis
    Hanny E. Rivera, Cheng-Yi Chen, Matthew C. Gibson, Ann M. Tarrant
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb236745 doi: 10.1242/jeb.236745 Published 11 March 2021

    Summary: Nematostella vectensis quickly responds to changes in temperature to modulate parental effects that influence thermal tolerance of larvae in a reversible (plastic) manner, which could be significant for survival under global climate change.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Telomere dynamics from hatching to sexual maturity and maternal effects in the ‘multivariate egg’
    Francois Criscuolo, Roxanna Torres, Sandrine Zahn, Tony D. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232496 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232496 Published 15 December 2020

    Highlighted Article: Antagonistic effects of maternal antibodies and egg testosterone modulate offspring telomere length over growth in zebra finch fledglings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Testing different forms of regulation of yolk thyroid hormone transfer in pied flycatchers
    Tom Sarraude, Bin-Yan Hsu, Ton G. G. Groothuis, Suvi Ruuskanen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb226688 doi: 10.1242/jeb.226688 Published 10 November 2020

    Summary: Thyroid hormones have been overlooked in the context of hormone-mediated maternal effects; mothers may regulate yolk thyroid hormone by regulating the concentration of the active form of the hormone in the circulation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Both maternal and embryonic exposure to mild hypoxia influence embryonic development of the intertidal gastropod Littorina littorea
    James C. S. McCoy, John I. Spicer, Oliver Tills, Simon D. Rundle
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb221895 doi: 10.1242/jeb.221895 Published 26 October 2020

    Summary: Maternal and embryonic exposure to mild hypoxia influence timings of developmental events, whereas aspects of embryo morphology and overall development time were influenced only by embryonic exposure to mild hypoxia.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Parental transgenerational epigenetic inheritance related to dietary crude oil exposure in Danio rerio
    Naim M. Bautista, Amélie Crespel, Janna Crossley, Pamela Padilla, Warren Burggren
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb222224 doi: 10.1242/jeb.222224 Published 20 August 2020

    Summary: Both maternal and paternal exposure experience to environmental stressors are essential for survivability of offspring facing similar environmental challenges.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Characterizing the timing of yolk testosterone metabolism and the effects of etiocholanolone on development in avian eggs
    Nicole A. Campbell, Rachel Angles, Rachel M. Bowden, Joseph M. Casto, Ryan T. Paitz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb210427 doi: 10.1242/jeb.210427 Published 20 February 2020

    Summary: Maternally derived steroids are metabolized during incubation. Here, we determine the timing of this embryonic metabolism for testosterone and assess early effects of metabolites on embryonic growth.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Maternal glucocorticoids promote offspring growth without inducing oxidative stress or shortening telomeres in wild red squirrels
    Ben Dantzer, Freya van Kesteren, Sarah E. Westrick, Stan Boutin, Andrew G. McAdam, Jeffrey E. Lane, Robert Gillespie, Ariana Majer, Mark F. Haussmann, Pat Monaghan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212373 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212373 Published 6 January 2020

    Summary: Experimental increases in glucocorticoids in breeding female North American red squirrels affects offspring postnatal growth but not levels of oxidative damage and antioxidants or telomere lengths.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Are there synergistic or antagonistic effects of multiple maternally derived egg components on offspring phenotype?
    Roxana Torres, Eunice Chin, Rowan Rampton, Tony D. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb196956 doi: 10.1242/jeb.196956 Published 24 April 2019

    Summary: Simultaneous, experimental manipulation of two maternally derived egg components (maternal antibodies and testosterone) provides little evidence for strong or long-term synergistic or antagonistic effects on offspring phenotype.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Avian yolk androgens are metabolized rather than taken up by the embryo during the first days of incubation
    Neeraj Kumar, Annie van Dam, Hjalmar Permentier, Martijn van Faassen, Ido Kema, Manfred Gahr, Ton G. G. Groothuis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb193961 doi: 10.1242/jeb.193961 Published 3 April 2019

    Highlighted Article: Mass spectrometric analysis using stable isotope labelled androgens shows that maternal androgens in bird egg yolk are not taken up by the embryo during early incubation but rather are metabolized.
