Biochemical and physiological responses of the water flea Moina macrocopa to microplastics: a multigenerational study
BackgroundNumerous studies have measured the harmful effects of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) (e.g., ingestion, temporal...

Genome-wide DNA mutations in Arabidopsis plants after multigenerational exposure to high temperatures
BackgroundElevated temperatures can cause physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses in plants that can greatly affect their growth and...

The mutational dynamics of short tandem repeats in large, multigenerational families
BackgroundShort tandem repeats (STRs) compose approximately 3% of the genome, and mutations at STR loci have been linked to dozens of human diseases...

Effects of multigenerational rearing, ontogeny and predation threat on copepod feeding rhythms
Marine planktonic copepods frequently exhibit diel feeding cycles coupled with vertical migrations. However, copepod feeding rhythms can be...

Thermal conditioning of quail embryos has transgenerational and reversible long-term effects
BackgroundIn the current context of global warming, thermal manipulation of avian embryos has received increasing attention as a strategy to promote...

Household immunity and individual risk of infection with dengue virus in a prospective, longitudinal cohort study
Although it is known that household infections drive the transmission of dengue virus (DENV), it is unclear how household composition and the immune...

A systematic scientometric review of paternal inheritance of acquired metabolic traits
BackgroundThe concept of the inheritance of acquired traits, a foundational principle of Lamarck’s evolutionary theory, has garnered renewed...

The influence of maternal aging on mixis induction in various generations of marine Brachionus rotifers
Aging is a significant internal factor influencing the sexual ability of rotifers. This study examined the effects of maternal aging on a rotifer's...

Transgenerational inheritance of adrenal steroidogenesis inhibition induced by prenatal dexamethasone exposure and its intrauterine mechanism
BackgroundAdrenal gland is the synthesis and secretion organ of glucocorticoid, which is crucial to fetal development and postnatal fate. Recently,...

Host defense alteration in Caenorhabditis elegans after evolution under ionizing radiation
BackgroundAdaptation to a stressor can lead to costs on other traits. These costs play an unavoidable role on fitness and influence the evolutionary...

Adaptation of a prey population to increasing predation risks
To test the hypotheses that multigenerational predation risk favors clones with longer postero-lateral spines and a larger body, and that fitness...

Transgenerational hormesis effects of nitenpyram on fitness and insecticide tolerance/resistance of Nilaparvata lugens
Brown planthopper ( Nilaparvata lugens ) (BPH) is a devastating migratory rice pest in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions....

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...

Epigenetic effects associated with salmonid supplementation and domestication
Several studies have demonstrated lower fitness of salmonids born and reared in a hatchery setting compared to those born in nature, yet broad-scale...

Prospective Intergenerational Consequences of Paternal Stress Experiences on Offspring Immune Health
A close relationship between immune regulation and neuropsychiatric disorders is becoming more apparent. Studies have now uncovered key mechanisms...

The methylome of Biomphalaria glabrata and other mollusks: enduring modification of epigenetic landscape and phenotypic traits by a new DNA methylation inhibitor
Background5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is an important epigenetic mark in eukaryotes. Little information about its role exists for invertebrates. To...
