Add to ORKGIn the past few decades, maternal effects have been widely recognized as an important way through which mothers can modify offspring phenotypes above and over direct genetic effects. As a wide variety of animals are prenatal exposed to maternal hormones, accumulating evidences also suggest that maternal hormones is an important mediator of maternal effects. In birds, previous studies have already shown evidence that maternal hormones in egg yolks can influence offspring development, growth, physiology, and behaviour, influencing their fitness. Nevertheless, the adaptive significance of prenatal maternal hormone exposure is still unclear because of the great discrepancy in the literature. A very likely explanation to the discrepancy is that ...
