Ecol Lett
. 2021 Jun;
24(9):1966-1975.
PMID: 34176203
Personality traits, such as the propensity to cooperate, are often inherited from parents to offspring, but the pathway of inheritance is unclear. Traits could be inherited via genetic or parental...

Sci Rep
. 2020 Aug;
10(1):13986.
PMID: 32814800
Telomeres play an important role in maintaining chromosomal integrity. With each cell division, telomeres are shortened and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) has therefore been considered a marker for biological age....

Kuijper B, Hanson M, Vitikainen E, Marshall H, Ozanne S, Cant M
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2019 Apr;
374(1770):20190039.
PMID: 30966882
Variation in early-life conditions can trigger developmental switches that lead to predictable individual differences in adult behaviour and physiology. Despite evidence for such early-life effects being widespread both in humans...

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2019 Apr;
374(1770):20180114.
PMID: 30966878
Kin selection theory defines the conditions for which altruism or 'helping' can be favoured by natural selection. Tests of this theory in cooperatively breeding animals have focused on the short-term...

Sheppard C, Marshall H, Inger R, Thompson F, Vitikainen E, Barker S, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2018 May;
28(11):1846-1850.e2.
PMID: 29804813
Cultural inheritance, the transmission of socially learned information across generations, is a non-genetic, "second inheritance system" capable of shaping phenotypic variation in humans and many non-human animals [1-3]. Studies of...

Ecol Lett
. 2018 Mar;
21(5):665-673.
PMID: 29542220
Individual foraging specialisation has important ecological implications, but its causes in group-living species are unclear. One of the major consequences of group living is increased intragroup competition for resources. Foraging...

Curr Zool
. 2018 Mar;
63(3):237-247.
PMID: 29491982
Preference for uninfected mates is presumed beneficial as it minimizes one's risk of contracting an infection and infecting one's offspring. In avian systems, visual ornaments are often used to indicate...

PLoS One
. 2018 Jan;
13(1):e0190740.
PMID: 29315317
Studying ecological and evolutionary processes in the natural world often requires research projects to follow multiple individuals in the wild over many years. These projects have provided significant advances but...

Exp Gerontol
. 2017 Oct;
107:67-73.
PMID: 28964829
Telomere length and the rate of telomere shortening have been suggested as particularly useful physiological biomarkers of the processes involved in senescent decline of somatic and reproductive function. However, longitudinal...

PMID: 28484620
Measures of physiological stress in zoo animals can give important insights into how they are affected by aspects of their captive environment. We analysed the factors influencing variation in glucocorticoid...
