TL;DR: It is revealed that mild stressors applied to laying Japanese quail can increase the emotional reactivity of their chicks and suggested that maternal stress effects on offspring are mediated by changes in egg composition and yolk testosterone levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used chemical and metagenomic analyses of groundwater in a fractured rock aquifer in western France to determine the role of fractures in the formation of deep microbial hotspots in the subsurface.

TL;DR: According to an inverted U-shaped relationship between stress and cognition, chronic stress can improve the adaptability of birds to a stressful environment and increase of emotional reactivity and spatial abilities.

TL;DR: The Zone Atelier Armorique (ZAAr) dataset as discussed by the authors was used to investigate the relationship between land use and surface water quality, while groundwater quality appeared largely unrelated to land use, suggesting strong differences in aquifer nitrogen removal rates.

TL;DR: Variation of circadian behavioral rhythmicity is associated with variation in social motivation in Japanese quail, andRhythmic animals appeared to respond more appropriately to environmental challenges than arrhythmmic animals.
