Compensation for a bad start: grow now, pay later?
Neil B. Metcalfe,Pat Monaghan +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, although compensatory growth can bring quick benefits, it is also associated with a surprising variety of costs that are often not evident until much later in adult life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental plasticity and human health.
Patrick Bateson,David J.P. Barker,Tim H. Clutton-Brock,Debal Deb,Bruno D'Udine,Robert Foley,Peter D. Gluckman,Keith M. Godfrey,Thomas B. L. Kirkwood,Marta Mirazón Lahr,John M. McNamara,Neil B. Metcalfe,Pat Monaghan,Hamish G. Spencer,Sonia E. Sultan +14 more
TL;DR: A fuller understanding of patterns of human plasticity in response to early nutrition and other environmental factors will have implications for the administration of public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade-offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation
TL;DR: The potential role of oxidative stress in mediating life-history trade-offs is critically reviewed, a framework for formulating appropriate hypotheses and guiding experimental design is presented, and potentially fruitful areas for further research are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early growth conditions, phenotypic development and environmental change.
TL;DR: This paper outlines how the different paradigms applied in this field relate to each other, the main predictions that they produce and the kinds of experimental data needed to distinguish among competing hypotheses, and examines evidence from mechanistic and functional avian studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telomere length in early life predicts lifespan
Britt J. Heidinger,Jonathan D. Blount,Winnie Boner,Kate Griffiths,Neil B. Metcalfe,Pat Monaghan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured telomere length in zebra finches from the nestling stage and at various points thereafter, and recorded their natural lifespan (which varied from less than 1 to almost 9 y).
