Taken together, these results suggest that mothers with fewer somatic resources, even in captivity, may be "programming" through cortisol signaling, behaviorally cautious offspring that prioritize growth.
However, besides their reduced somatic resources, there is 1 additional feature of primiparous mothers that may be relevant the lack of previous offspring.
Mothers with lower milk production and reduced somatic resources, due to poor condition or low parity, may be "programming," through cortisol signaling, behaviorally cautious offspring that prioritize allocation of milk energy to growth but are otherwise energetically less costly.
Further, our work does not consider the potential for nongenetic inheritance due to epigenetic inheritance (transmission of DNA methylation variants), somatic inheritance (parentally derived somatic resources that affect development), or behavioral inheritance (parental influence on developmental environment) and future work considering these contributions are necessary.

A third strategy would increase reproductive efficiency by diverting resources from somatic growth to reproductive output [4], [58].
An obvious explanation for the reduced male lifespan on the poor quality diet is that the greater costs of providing the same sized nuptial gift in a poor quality environment are manifested as the reduced allocation of resources towards somatic maintenance and repair [49].
How to allocate resources between somatic maintenance and reproduction in a manner that maximizes inclusive fitness is a fundamental challenge for all organisms.
However, the balance of resources between somatic maintenance and reproduction must also be responsive to the environment because external conditions affect growth and development and can vary considerably.
Vitellogenesis appears to be one target of the IIS prolongevity mechanism, possibly for the purpose of reallocating resources to somatic maintenance.
Thus, one possibility is that translocation to the cytoplasm after long term starvation prevents excess expenditure of resources on somatic maintenance processes.
