...–response Phenotypic engineering Stress response Glucocorticoids (the ‘stress hormones’ in vertebrates) are considered major physiological mediators of allostasis, thus allowing the maintenance of homeostasis through change ( McEwen and Wingfield, 2003 ). Blood glucocorticoid titers can vary...

... outperformed controls across multiple thermal performance traits. Additionally, some effects were evident across generations. Together, these results suggest that phenotypic engineering provides complex outcomes, and if implemented with heat hardening can further influence performance in multiple thermal...

... ethopharmacology neuroethology psychoneuroimmunology phenotypic engineering serotonin The ability of an individual to adjust its behaviour to variable environmental stimuli relies on the appropriate neuromodulation of its sensory and motor circuits. Such behavioural flexibility obviously offers...
