This project aims to investigate how maternal contributions to offspring developmental environments affect metabolism, learning, growth, and survival of offspring. This project expects to provide mechanistic and evolutionary insights into how changes in metabolic function, brought about by changes in the developmental environment, contribute to variation in learning and life-history. Expected outcomes include an in-depth understanding of how changes in maternal investment and hormones impact offspring developing in different thermal environments and how such changes are mediated by compromised physiological function – providing significant benefits in understanding population persistence in Australia's rapidly changing climate.

该项目旨在研究母亲对后代发育环境的影响如何影响后代的新陈代谢、学习、生长和生存。该项目期望提供机制和进化的见解，以了解发育环境的变化所带来的代谢功能的变化如何促进后代的发育。预期结果包括深入了解母体投资和激素的变化如何影响不同热环境中的后代发育，以及这些变化如何通过受损的生理功能介导——这对于了解种群的持久性具有重要意义。澳大利亚迅速变化的气候。
