Exploding Aliens and Other Offspring
<p>The goal of <em>Exploding Aliens and Other Offspring</em> is to capture my specific surrealist world point of view provided by the closed-knit crazy community I grew up in alongside my love for cartoonish melodrama. The collection progresses in order of images and the evolution of such themes as …

Offspring retrieval behaviors after brood loss in the convict cichlid
… and “abandoned” females did not differ in their offspring search behavior suggesting that that females could be maximally invested in their young (i.e., putting a maximum amount of effort into their broods) regardless of whether or not they have a male present to assist them. In addition, there …

Transgenerational Effects of Maternal Age on Offspring Fitness in Crickets
… can have both positive and negative effects on offspring fitness, and thus, parental age can be considered a parental effect. As a parental effect, parental age may affect a variety of offspring traits and may cascade to influence several generations of offspring. Given the complexities of …

Dicamba Effects on Soybean (Glycine max) Growth, Yield, and Offspring
… effects of dicamba on soybean growth, yield, and offspring. Low rates of dicamba [1/64X (8.75 g ae ha-1) and 1/256X (2.18 g ae ha-1) of a normal 1X field rate (560 g ae ha-1)] were applied at two vegetative growth stages (V4, V6) and at each reproductive growth stage from R1 to R6. Compared to the …

Intergenerational dynamics of adult offspring living in the parental home
… contribute to a base of information about adult offspring who reside in the parental home, with particular emphasis on intergenerational relationships. The variables investigated included intimacy with parents, individuation from family of origin, triangulation, intimidation, and personal …

Effect of Inflammation in Pregnancy on Maternal and Offspring Cardiovascular Systems
… with an increased risk of future maternal and offspring cardiovascular disease (CVD). Murine studies have revealed that inflammatory pregnancies are associated with the acquisition of risk factors for CVD, but not overt disease. Therefore, a second inflammatory stimulus, such as one induced by …

Parent versus professional perception of mothers' adjustment to their multihandicapped offspring
… the perceptions of mothers of multihandicapped offspring, special education teachers, and special education supervisors regarding the mothers' adjustment to their multihandicapped children. Specifically, the nature of the adjustment process was investigated; whether it was more aptly …

A framework for hybrid dynamic evolutionary algorithms : multiple offspring sampling (MOS)
… of Hybrid EAs. This framework is called Multiple Offspring Sampling (MOS) and is based on the key concept of a reproductive technique, which offers an abstraction of the mechanisms used by the different evolutionary approaches to create new individuals, i.e., the particular operators, parameters …

Paternity and father-offspring relationships in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii.
… paternal relationship, that of fathers and offspring, in the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Identifying fathers and offspring and characterizing their relationship is a necessary first step on the way to testing for kin discrimination amongst non-descendent paternal kin. Thus, …

IMPORTANCE OF SLOW EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT IN OFFSPRING AND ADULT IMMUNE FUNCTION
… differ in rate of development and quality of offspring is a central question in life history theory. A physiological trade-off is thought to occur between the rate of development and enhancement of internal systems, such as immune function, which determine high offspring quality. For example, …

Maternal smoking during pregnancy - Long-term health effects in the offspring
… risk of adverse short-term health effects in the offspring, such as preterm birth, low birthweight and spontaneous abortion. Less is known about whether any adverse health effects persist until adulthood. In Sweden, there are nationwide population-based health registers that are becoming …

The Role of Mouse Placental Endocrine Function on Offspring Metabolic Health
… adversity in prenatal and early life, influence offspring health. Multiple studies have now shown that the maternal environment (GDM, diet and stress) can affect placental growth, birthweight, and programme the offspring’s risk of long-term health, including increasing risk for metabolic …

Bioenergetic and Metabolic Signatures of Maternal Overnutrition in the Offspring Heart
… childbearing age has concerning implications for offspring longitudinal health outcomes. In human populations, maternal obesity is associated with a heightened predisposition of offspring towards cardiometabolic disease, whilst hearts of mice born to obese dams exhibit hypertrophic remodelling and …

The influence of maternal Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection on immunity in offspring
… Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium (STm) in offspring. We show that maternal Nb infection in BALB/c mice results in the transfer of Nb antigen (NES)-specific IgG1 in utero and through breastmilk, changes in lymphocyte populations and early germinal center formation in naive offspring. …

The effect of maternal nutrition on offspring gene regulation via epigenetic modulation
… that results in persistent alteration of the offspring epigenome and associates with health outcome later in life. Both DNA methylation and histone modifications have been reported in a range of rat tissues including liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland following a restricted diet …
