Maternal age at reproduction drives multigenerational variation in life-history traits

The paper shows that maternal age at reproduction affects offspring life-history traits across two generations in predatory mites, with grandmaternal age mediating these effects.

Growth-promoting rhizobacteria amend the defense of strawberry plants against sequentially attacking herbivores

This study shows that plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria enhance strawberry plant defense against sequential herbivore attacks by increasing secondary metabolites and improving plant physiology.

Maternal diet exerts sex-specific effects on offspring' personalities in predatory mites

This study shows that maternal diet affects offspring personality traits like activity and boldness in predatory mites, with pollen-fed mothers producing shier offspring and spider mite-fed mothers producing more active ones.

MATING FREQUENCY MEDIATES PERSONALITY EXPRESSION IN FACULTATIVELY POLYANDROUS MITES

This study shows that mating frequency affects sociability and repeatability in polyandrous mites, indicating that mating influences female personality expression.

An inverse Lansing effect: Older mothers produce offspring with improved development and growth efficiency

This study shows that older mothers produce offspring with better development and growth efficiency, challenging the Lansing effect by demonstrating improved offspring performance with maternal age.
