Abstract: AbstractClimate change and pollution are some of the greatest anthropogenic threats to wild animals. Transgenerational plasticity – when parental exposure to environmental stress leads to changes in offspring phenotype – has been recently highlighted as a potential mechanism to respond to various environmental and anthropogenic changes across taxa. Transgenerational effects may be mediated via multiple mechanisms, such as transfer of maternal hormones to eggs/fetus. However, sources of variation in hormone transfer are poorly understood in ...
