Although cross-protection has been documented in a wide range of taxa at juvenile and adult life stages, whether early developmental exposure to a stressor confers cross-protection or reduced tolerance to other stressors later in life through developmental plasticity remains largely unexplored...

This phenomenon, termed developmental plasticity, can result in individuals that share a single genotype displaying substantially different phenotypes, depending on the developmental...

Birds offer a great system in which to study developmental plasticity and its underlying mechanisms owing to the production of large external eggs and variation in developmental trajectories, combined with a long tradition of applied...

We present advances in our understanding of developmental plasticity in response to food variation using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , which provides a near-isogenic context while permitting lab-controlled environments and analysis...
