Temperature-induced maternal effects and environmental predictability.
Maternal effects could influence the persistence of species under environmental change, but the adaptive significance of many empirically estimated maternal effects remains unclear. Inferences about the adaptive significance of maternal effects depend on the correlation between maternal and offspring environments, the relative importance of frequency- or density-dependent selection and whether ...
متن کاملEnvironmental temperature and maternal behavior in Rattus norvegicus.
In 14 female rats the daily duration of selected patterns of maternal behavior was registered for 10 successive days (from the 4th till the 13th day postpartum) for 180 min each day. On certain days the home cages of 7 females (experimental group) were cooled for 8 h, while the remaining 7 females constituted a control group. During the days of cooling the experimental females devoted to the ca...
متن کاملEnvironmental temperature and exercise-induced blood oxidative stress.
Previous research findings indicate that environmental temperature can influence exercise-induced oxidative-stress responses, although the response to variable temperatures is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of warm, cold, and "neutral," or room, environmental temperatures on the blood oxidative stress associated with exercise and recovery. Participants (N = 12,...
متن کاملTemperature and other environmental effects on ammocoete organs in culture.
INTRODUCTION The optimal temperature and the range suitable for culturing amphibian tadpole hearts in vitro have been established (Stephenson, 1967). In order that comparison with the larval stage of a phylogenetically distinct poikilothermic vertebrate might be made, whole hearts and chopped explants of other organs of ammocoete larvae of Mordacia mordax (Richardson) were cultured at temperatu...
متن کاملPredictability of ecosystem engineering effects on species richness across environmental variability and spatial scales
1 The effect of physical ecosystem engineering – structurally mediated modification of the abiotic environment by organisms – on species richness and composition probably depends on the area of observation and environmental context. 2 We develop specific hypotheses to evaluate how such effects will vary with spatial scale and environmental variability, and test these hypotheses by examining the...
