Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist across generations, yet the extent of diet-induced TGP remains incompletely resolved. Prey availability is a key determinant of predator performance in both mass-rearing and field environments, potentially influencing the reliability of pest suppression. Here, we examined how ancestral dietary restriction affects...
