Extract

Maternal effects are important in mammals and include genetic and environmental influences. They are also known in birds, particularly in the context of behaviour. The current investigation examined the maternal influences on weights of Japanese Quail, reflecting residual effects in a situation where chicks were artificially incubated and reared.
