Sensitive windows for within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences by Tariel-Adam, Juliette, Luquet, Émilien, Plénet, Sandrine

“…We examined the sensitive windows of both within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences in the freshwater snail Physa acuta. Parental snails were exposed to olfactory cues of their crayfish predator at different exposure windows: embryonic development, early, mid or late post-embryonic development. …”
