Transgenerational plasticity of exploratory behavior and a hidden cost of mismatched risk environments between parental sexes.

Abstract excerpt

We require a better understanding of the relative contribution of different modes of non-genetic inheritance in behavioral trait development. Thus, we investigate variation in exploratory behavior, which is ecologically relevant and a target of selection. The metabolic hypothesis predicts exploratory behavior to be size-dependent across taxa. This size-dependency is cancelled out under high perceived risk,...
