... 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...

... that the use of silicone might not be the correct substitute to recreate the parasitic mass of S. solidus. We thus cannot conclude or reject that the mechanical hypothesis is a possible cause of behaviour modification by a parasite. However, the general approach of using phenotypic engineering to create...

... ethopharmacology neuroethology psychoneuroimmunology phenotypic engineering serotonin Finally, from a methodological point of view, we emphasize the interest in combining ethopharmacology with transcriptomics or proteomics, and with functional genomics such as quantitative RT-PCR. The common strategies...

... obesity thermoregulation fence lizard Sceloporus undulatus phenotypic engineering Leptin is the 16 kDa hormone product of the mouse obesity ( ob ) gene ( Halaas et al., 1997 ). Mice that are homozygous for a mutation of the ob gene ( ob / ob ) do not produce leptin and, consequently...
