The development of animal personality: relevance, concepts and perspectives (2010, positive): “…to experiential factors and environmental conditions that they provide to their offspring, e.g. substances mothers deposit in their eggs, conditions in utero , or variation in parental behaviour early in life (Mendl & Paul, 1991; Groothuis et al., 2005; Arnold et al ., 2007: Curley et al ., 2008).”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “Breeding females can create inequalities in their offspring, by producing eggs that differ in the level of nutrients and hormones (e.g. testosterone) that stimulate growth and competitiveness of last hatched chicks (Groothuis et al. 2005).”
Effects of elevated yolk testosterone levels on survival, growth and immunity of male and female yellow-legged gull chicks (2005, positive): “Different from previous studies where elevated yolk T resulted in a significant reduction of immunocompetence (Groothuis et al. 2005b; Navara et al. 2005; see also Andersson et al. 2004; Groothuis et al. 2005a), we did not observe any effect of prenatal T exposure on the intensity of the…”
Sibling competition and cooperation in mammals: challenges, developments and prospects (2007, background): “Although there is much speculation, hard data are lacking for mammals as well as for birds (see discussion in Groothuis et al. 2005).”
Adaptive trans‐generational phenotypic plasticity and the lack of an experimental control in reciprocal match/mismatch experiments (2016, positive): “To do this, one would obviously need to know the proximate mechanism by which phenotypic plasticity may be trans-generationally mediated (e.g. via maternal hormones, see Groothuis et al. 2005; Ruuskanen 2015).”
Chapter 7 Hormones in Avian Eggs: Physiology, Ecology and Behavior (2008, background): “4) and the humoral components of the immune response in nestlings hatching from androgen‐injected eggs (Groothuis et al., 2005a; Müller et al., 2005b).”
Maternal adversity and ecological stressors in natural populations: the role of stress axis programming in individuals, with implications for populations and communities (2013, background): “Presently, little is known about the mechanisms of GC transfer between the mother and the egg (Groothuis et al. 2005), although there appears to be a positive correlation between maternal and yolk GC levels in at least two species (Love et al. 2005; Almasi et al. 2012).”
Benefits and costs of parental care (2012, background): “For example, the allocation of maternal hormones and immunoglobulins to the egg or embryo seems to be a form of care that is costfree for the parents, and their effects on offspring depend on when they will act and on their interaction with the particular environment at that time (Groothuis et al. 2”
