Development is a complex and highly dynamic process involving the
cross talk among genes, maternal effects and environmental
circumstances. Widespread evidence from plant to animal species
show that variation in developmental conditions can modulate life
history trajectories and influence key traits, such as growth,
reproduction, and senescence. These effects are not limited to a
single generation but can also be passed on future generations.
This book aims to bring together studies of early life effects from
the fields of evolutionary biology, global change biology, and
biomedicine to synthesise and improve current knowledge of the
mechanisms involved, and how variation in early life conditions
translates into Darwinian fitness outcomes. Relying on examples of
organisms' responses to the ongoing and future environmental
challenges of the Anthropocene, this book takes a novel approach to
address the adaptive meaning of early life effects. The book has a
broad scientific approach, targeting eco-evolutionary biologists,
behavioural biologists, eco-physiologists, eco-toxicologists, as
well as epidemiologists and biomedical scientists.
