Review: Phenotypic and molecular evidence of inter- and trans-generational effects of heat stress in livestock mammals and humans.

Abstract excerpt

Internal and external factors can change an individual's phenotype. A significant external threat to humans and livestock is environmental heat load, a combination of high ambient temperatures and humidity. A heat stress response occurs when an endothermal animal is exposed to a heat load that challenges its' thermoregulation capacity. With the ongoing climate change trends, the incidence of chronically elevated...
