Intermittent fasting is associated with microbiome composition in S. typhle.
“However, IF fathers exhibited increased immune activation and microbiome shifts that were mirrored in offspring, suggesting paternal priming via epigenetic and microbial inheritance.”

Intermittent fasting decreases offspring condition in S. typhle.
“Mothers under IF showed greater condition loss, leading to reduced offspring condition regardless of paternal diet, highlighting the importance of maternal provisioning through eggs.”
