Effects of the temperature during embryonic development on adult reproduction and the phenotype of the second generation in zebra finches.

Abstract excerpt

Across taxa, the temperature experienced by individuals early in life can have large effects on their development. However, comparatively little is known about whether the effects of this thermal developmental environment can be long-lasting or transgenerational. In birds, one important aspect of the developmental environment is incubation and, in general, eggs incubated at low temperatures produce offspring with...
