Project description

Study of transgenerational effects of ageing in Lesser black-backed gulls through quantifation of

consequences of ageing parents on their offspring. Parental-age related variation in offspring

quality is thereby predicted to relate to prenatal maternal effects, i.e. changes in offspring

phenotype as a result of changes in the pre-hatching environment, while prenatal paternal

effects are predicted to act via sperm.
