Parental social environment has no effect on offspring development in the dung beetle: A test of adult sex ratio effects

2026-04-03

Abstract excerpt

The adult sex ratio (ASR) is a key demographic parameter that shapes sexual selection and social interactions. However, whether parental experience of ASR variation influences offspring development across generations remains unclear. Such effects fall under the unifying framework of transgenerational plasticity (TGP), which encompasses two core, non-mutually exclusive non-genetic pathways: pre-zygotic germline-med...
