Increased paternal corticosterone exposure influences offspring behaviour and expression of urinary pheromones

Abstract Background Studies have shown that paternal stress prior to conception can influence the innate behaviours of their offspring. The evolutionary impacts of such intergenerational effects are therefore of considerable interest. Our group previously showed in a model of daily stress that gluco...
