Maternal Effects in Mammals
Maternal Effects in Mammals
Dario Maestripieri,Jill M. Mateo
¥353.16
Evolutionary maternal effects occur whenever a mother's phenotypic traits directly affect her offspring's phenotype, independent of the offspring's genotype. Some of the phenotypic traits that result in maternal effects have a genetic basis, whereas others are environmentally determined. For example, the size of a litter produced by a mammalian mother-a trait with a strong genetic basis-can affect the growth rate of her offspring, while a mother's dominance rank-an environmentally determined trait-can affect the dominance rank of her offspring. The first volume published on the subject in more than a decade, Maternal Effects in Mammals reflects advances in genomic, ecological, and behavioral research, as well new understandings of the evolutionary interplay between mothers and their offspring. Dario Maestripieri and Jill M. Mateo bring together a learned group of contributors to synthesize the vast literature on a range of species, highlight evolutionary processes that were previously overlooked, and propose new avenues of research. Maternal Effects in Mammals will serve as the most comprehensive compendium on and stimulus for interdisciplinary treatments of mammalian maternal effects.

Of course you love being a parent. But sometimes, it just sucks. I know. I'm Amber Dusick and I started my blog Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures because I needed a place to vent about the funny (and frustrating) day-to-day things that happened to me as a parent. Turns out, poo is hilarious! At least when you're not the one wiping it up. This book won't make your frustrating moments any less crappy. But these stories about my Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy and my husband, Crappy Papa, will hopefully make you laugh. Because you're not alone. And sometimes the crappiest moments make the best memories. Parenting is wonderful! And also, well, you know. ‘The drawings aren't very good, Mama.' -Crappy Boy, age 5

A negatív érzelmek - mint a b?ntudat, a düh, a kétség, a csalódás - nyomot hagynak a lelkünkben. Minél hosszabb id?n át vagyunk kitéve ezeknek a rossz érzelmi állapotoknak, annál maradandóbbak lesznek a nyomaik is. Kurt Tepperwein kifejlesztett egy eredményes lelki méregtelenít? módszert, amellyel fel tudjuk frissíteni, s?t úgyszólván újraéleszthetjük a lelkünket. Meggy?z? és k?nnyen alkalmazható programmal magyarázza el az okokat; hogy hogyan szabadulhatunk meg a negatív mintáktól; és hogy mely tényez?k segítik a lelki higiénét. A nélkül?zhetetlen tanácsadó k?nyvet egy sor személyes kérdéslista és az ?nvizsgálat elvégzéséhez való gyakorlati útmutató teszi teljessé. "Ismerjük fel, hogy minden helyzetben megvan a lehet?ségünk arra, hogy eld?ntsük, mit állítunk a k?zéppontba, és hogyan akarunk reagálni. K?vessenek az úton, és meglátják, hogy minden bosszantó helyzetben van legalább egy olyan aspektus, amely hálára vagy ?r?mre adhat okot."
