    • Life history trade-offs associated with exposure to low maternal capital are different in sons compared to daughters: Evidence from a prospective Brazilian birth cohort

      Background: Environmental exposures in early life explain variability in many physiological and behavioural traits in adulthood. Recently, we showed that exposure to a composite marker of low maternal capital explained the clustering of adverse behavioural and physical traits in adult daughters in a Brazilian birth cohort. These associations were strongly mediated by whether or not the daughter had ...

    • Low maternal capital predicts life history trade-offs in daughters: Why adverse outcomes cluster in individuals 

      Wells, Jonathan C.K.; Cole, Tim J.; Cortina-Borja, Mario; Sear, Rebecca; Leon, David Adrew; Marphatia, Akanksha A.; Murray, Joseph; Wehrmeister, Fernando César; Oliveira, Paula D.; Goncalves, Helen; Oliveira, Isabel O.; Menezes, Ana Maria B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)
      <i>Background</i>: Some individuals appear prone to multiple adverse outcomes, including poor health, school dropout, risky behavior and early reproduction. This clustering remains poorly understood. Drawing on evolutionary life history theory, we hypothesized that maternal investment in early life would predict the developmental trajectory and adult phenotype of female offspring. Specifically, we ...
