Male attractiveness regulates daughter fecundity non-genetically via maternal investment.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2012

Gilbert Lucy, Williamson Kathryn A, Graves Jefferson A

Abstract excerpt

Mothers can non-genetically influence offspring phenotype in response to environmental conditions, including mate attractiveness. If such 'maternal effects' influence the offspring's reproduction and F2 generation, there is a mechanism for non-genetic trans-generational effects on phenotype, including epigenetic phenomena, with implications for evolution and population dynamics. We demonstrate in the zebra finch...
