The contribution of maternal and paternal body size to offspring early adulthood life histories in a parasitoid wasp, Lysiphlebus fabarum
Maternal and paternal effects are now acknowledged as a significant source of variation in offspring phenotypes, with potentially life-long...

Assessing physical qualities and fatty acid profiles of early-stage bonefish (Albula goreensis) leptocephalus larvae reared in captivity to better understand early life history traits and inform conservation methods
Bonefish are members of one of the oldest extant teleost superorders, Elopomorpha, which also includes eels, tarpons, and ladyfish. All share a...

Constant light in early life induces fear-related behavior in chickens with suppressed melatonin secretion and disrupted hippocampal expression of clock- and BDNF-associated genes
BackgroundLight management plays an important role in the growth and behavior of broiler chickens. Constant light in early post hatch stage has been...

Adaptive Meaning of Early Life Experience in Species that Go Through Metamorphosis
Many animals have complex life cycles in which juvenile and adult stages are separated by metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a time of reprogramming,...

Early-life bisphenol A exposure causes neuronal pyroptosis in juvenile and adult male rats through the NF-κB/IL-1β/NLRP3/caspase-1 signaling pathway: exploration of age and dose as effective covariates using an in vivo and in silico modeling approach
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine-disrupting chemical, is found in a wide range of home plastics. Early-life BPA exposure has been linked to...

Relationships among Development, Growth, Body Size, Reproduction, Aging, and Longevity – Trade-Offs and Pace-Of-Life
AbstractRelationships of growth, metabolism, reproduction, and body size to the biological process of aging and longevity have been studied for...

Investigating the Relationship Between Body Shape and Life History Traits in Toothed Whales: Can Body Shape Predict Fast-Slow Life Histories?
A widespread pattern in vertebrate life-history evolution is for species to evolve towards either fast or slow life histories; however, the...

Transgenerational effects of grandparental and parental diets combine with early-life learning to shape adaptive foraging phenotypes in Amblyseius swirskii
Transgenerational effects abound in animals. While a great deal of research has been dedicated to the effects of maternal stressors such as diet...

Multiple micronutrient deficiencies in early life cause multi-kingdom alterations in the gut microbiome and intrinsic antibiotic resistance genes in mice
Globally, ~340 million children suffer from multiple micronutrient deficiencies, accompanied by high pathogenic burden and death due to...

Mid-life plasma proteins associated with late-life prefrailty and frailty: a proteomic analysis
Physical frailty is a syndrome that typically manifests in later life, although the pathogenic process causing physical frailty likely begins decades...
-
Life Histories
The type and arrangement of reproductive and developmental traits from hatching to death are composed of life-history strategies which vary according...

Associations between the gut microbiome and metabolome in early life
BackgroundThe infant intestinal microbiome plays an important role in metabolism and immune development with impacts on lifelong health. The linkage...

Molting in early Cambrian armored lobopodians
Lobopodians represent a key step in the early history of ecdysozoans since they were the first animals to evolve legs within this clade. Their...

Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota in early life aggravates high-fat diet induced dysmetabolism in adult mice
BackgroundAccumulating evidence have shown that the intestinal microbiota plays an important role in prevention of host obesity and metabolism...

Altered hypothalamic DNA methylation and stress-induced hyperactivity following early life stress
Exposure to early life stress (ELS) during childhood or prenatally increases the risk of future psychiatric disorders. The effect of stress exposure...

Litter characteristics and hel** context during early life shape the responsiveness of the stress axis in a wild cooperative breeder
AbstractStress responses have evolved to quickly and appropriately deal with environmental stressors in order to secure or restore homeostasis. Since...

Early-life undernutrition induces enhancer RNA remodeling in mice liver
BackgroundMaternal protein restriction diet (PRD) increases the risk of metabolic dysfunction in adulthood, the mechanisms during the early life of...

Genomic drivers of early-life fitness in Picea rubens
Red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg.) is a coniferous tree with a highly fragmented range in eastern North American montane forests. It serves as a...

Life in a Central European warm-temperate to subtropical open forest: Paleoecology of the rhinocerotids from Ulm-Westtangente (Aquitanian, Early Miocene, Germany)
The Ulm-Westtangente locality has yielded the most abundant vertebrate fauna from the Aquitanian stage in Germany. Its dating to the Mammal Neogene...
