SCAPHIRHYNCHUS STURGEON EARLY-LIFE HISTORY
… understanding of sturgeon autecology during all life stages, especially during early life when high mortality occurs. To begin to understand sturgeon early-life history I determined river of origin on a multi-basin scale (i.e., potential rivers of origin). I then determined habitat needs and …

Paediatric asthma and wheeze: early life origins
… asthma and wheeze. Factors creating a suboptimal early environment may persistently alter the structure and function of the immune and respiratory systems.<br/>This thesis explored the early life origins of paediatric asthma and wheeze in a large, prospective mother-child cohort. In particular, …

Early-life immunity and susceptibility to Mycobacteria
… conditions highlights the necessity of robust early-life immunity. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and helminths are pathogens co-endemic in many LMIC and cause significant morbidity and mortality in children. Infant immune responses to these pathogens, whether during standalone infection, …

Early life-history ecology of Arctic benthic invertebrates
… explore the abiotic and biotic factors impacting early life-history bottlenecks in the Arctic Ocean and Woods Hole, MA. Many marine invertebrates have a biphasic life-history, with larvae that disperse in the water column then settle to the seafloor. Extreme population bottlenecks occur at larval …

Early life exposure to metals and adolescent neurodevelopment
… a paucity of epidemiological studies focused on early-life exposure to metals, especially in association with less commonly studied neurodevelopmental domains like motor function. OBJECTIVE: To characterize exposure to multiple metals in early life, estimate associations with neurodevelopmental …

Early Life Determinants of Metabolic and Reproductive Health
Events in early life have consistently been associated with health outcomes in later life. The ‘developmental origins’ theory first hypothesised that adverse conditions in-utero can lead to physiological adaptations in the developing foetus which have long lasting influences on health. This concept …

Exploring metabolomics through NMR: from early life to aging
… reporting within a single, coherent framework. Early life is adopted as a particularly stringent translational model. Neonatal metabolism is highly dynamic, biological heterogeneity is substantial, and non-invasive biofluids such as urine provide a complex yet informative window into both …

Longitudinal effects of early-life iron status in pigs
… study was to determine the lasting effects of an early-life iron deficiency on physiological outcomes after a period of iron repletion in the diet. Forty-two intact male pigs were provided ad libitum access to dietary treatments including control (CONT, 21.3 mg Fe/L) or iron-deficient (ID, 2.72 mg …

The impact of early life adversity on later life health
<p>The preponderance of the literature on early life adversity suggests that adversity has negative effects on later life health; however, an emerging body of literature suggests that early life adversity may develop a sense of resilience in individuals. Drawing from life course perspective, the …

The nature, structure, and neural signature of early life adversity
… influence is that of adversity experienced in early life. The long-term consequences of such experiences on cognitive development and mental health outcomes are well-documented. However, there remain gaps in understanding the precise neuropsychological pathways through which these changes occur …

Thermal impacts on the early life history of Sauger (Sander canadensis)
Sauger (Sander canadensis), a large North American member of the family Percidae, often exhibit sporadic recruitment governed by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors. This episodic reproductive success is emblematic in Percids, as it has been documented across a wide geographic area for multiple …
