title = "The jury is still out regarding the generality of adaptive {\textquoteleft}transgenerational{\textquoteright} effects",
abstract = "A recent meta-analysis concluded, {\textquoteleft}transgenerational effects are widespread, strong and persistent{\textquoteright}. We identify biases in the literature search, data and analyses, questioning that conclusion. Re-analyses indicate few studies actually tested transgenerational effects – making it challenging to disentangle condition-transfer from anticipatory parental effects, and providing little insight into the underlying mechanisms.",
