Influence of Maternal Size on Offspring Traits in a Marine Gastropod with Direct Development and without Sibling Interaction
(Marine Biological Laboratory, 2021-04)
In most animal taxa, large mothers (or those with high nutritional status) produce large offspring, leading to a maternal size-offspring size correlation, that is, a positive correlation between maternal size and offspring ...
Prediction of offspring in extant and extinct mammals to add light on paleoecology and evolution
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Reproductive strategies can be inferred from adult body mass, although offspring characteristics can give more accurate tools to predict life histories. In fossil mammals, adult body mass estimation incorporates error to ...
Large mothers, but not large fathers, influence offspring number in a caridean shrimp
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2018-04)
The relationship between parental mass and female reproductive output, as well as offspring quality, was studied in the red cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi (Bouvier, 1904)) under controlled laboratory conditions. Adult ...
Impact of maternal mild hyperglycemia on maternal care and offspring development and behavior of Wistar rats
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTDOXFORD, 2012)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of maternal mild hyperglycemia on maternal behavior, as well as the development, behavior, reproductive function, and glucose tolerance of the offspring. At birth, ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of maternal mild hyperglycemia on maternal behavior, as well as the development, behavior, reproductive function, and glucose tolerance of the offspring. At birth, ...

Maternal Lipid Provisioning Mirrors Evolution of Reproductive Strategies in Direct-Developing Whelks
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2016)
The energetic input that offspring receive from their mothers is a well-studied maternal effect that can influence the evolution of life histories. Using the offspring of three sympatric whelks: Cominella virgata (one ...
Scorpion body size, litter characteristics, and duration of the life cycle (Scorpiones)
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica, 2019)
Litter Size Reduction Alters the Lipid Metabolism of Adult Male Rat Offspring of Dams Fed a Diet with Caloric Restriction
(Federation Amer Soc Exp Biol, 2016-04-01)
