Symposium: Fetal Origins of Developmental Plasticity
Guest Editors: Christopher Kuzawa and Ivy L. Pike
-
The finding that prenatal nutrition has effects on adult health has heightened interest in the mechanisms and consequences of developmental plasticity. While most fetal programming research has focused on the role of prenatal exposures in the development of cardiovascular disease, the evolutionary implications of these findings have received less attention. The articles in this special issue showcase the range of approaches that are currently being used to explore the evolutionary significance of fetal developmental plasticity, both in human and animal models.
