Abstract:
... Four studies were conducted on Cobb 700 broilers to evaluate the dietary protein and any maternal effects on live production and processing parameters. Day-old Cobb 700 broiler breeder pullets were reared to conform to 2 different BW curves (control BW and increased BW) with 8 replicate pens per treatment. Birds were fed common diets from 1 d of age until first egg (24 wk). At 24 wk, 12 pens of ea ...

Abstract:
... In many animal species, mothers eat some of their own eggs. While this filial egg cannibalism can have profound impacts on both parental and offspring fitness, it remains unclear whether this behaviour is a simple by-product of a generally low maternal investment in egg care and whether it is determined before or after egg production. Here, we addressed these questions in the European earwig, Forf ...

Abstract:
... The development of industry and agriculture and the continuous growth of human population on Earth have dramatically increased anthropogenic pressure on natural ecosystems and wildlife. As a result, fragmentation of the natural habitats and the decrease in genetic diversity in these populations increase the probability of reproduction with genetically closely related individuals (inbreeding).

Abstract:
... Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was originally thought to prevent any response to selection on male phenotypic variation attributable to mtDNA, resulting in a male‐biased mtDNA mutation load (“mother's curse”). However, the theory underpinning this claim implicitly assumes that a male's mtDNA has no effect on the fitness of females he comes into contact with. If such “mitochondri ...

Abstract:
... Relatively little is known about whether and how nongenetic inheritance interacts with selection to impact the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. Here, we empirically evaluated how stabilizing selection and a common form of nongenetic inheritance—maternal environmental effects—jointly influence the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in natural populations of spadefoot toads. We compared populatio ...

Abstract:

Echinoderm eggs have a jelly coat that facilitates sperm–egg collisions. We investigated variation in egg volume and target area for spermatozoa provided by the jelly coat within and between three sea urchin species (Heliocidaris erythrogramma, He ...

Abstract:
... Hybrid catfish, the progeny of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) females × blue catfish (I. furcatus) males, are in high demand by the United States aquaculture industry because they outcompete each of the parent species for pond and raceway culture. Unfortunately, fry production can be a limiting factor due to a lack of natural hybridization between the two species and the necessity to sacrif ...

Abstract:
... Egg-size adjustment is one of the important plastic life-history traits for animals living in heterogeneous environments. The adaptive investment hypothesis predicts that mothers should increase progeny size according to certain cues predicting adverse future conditions of their offspring. However, reproductive resources are limited, and females have to simultaneously reduce egg number to allocate ...

These maternal effects represent a transgenerational form of phenotypic p ...

Abstract:
... Transgenerational effects act on a wide range of insects’ life-history traits and can be involved in the control of developmental plasticity, such as diapause expression. Decrease in or total loss of winter diapause expression recently observed in some species could arise from inhibiting maternal effects. In this study, we explored transgenerational effects on diapause expression and traits in one ...
