Environmental epigenetics investigates the cause-effect relationships between specific
environmental factors and the subsequent epigenetic modifications triggering adaptive …

Although epigenetics is still a relatively new discipline, its development during the last 10
years has revolutionized the current understanding of genome structure and function. The …

The effect of environmental pollution on epigenetic changes and their heredity in affected
organisms is of major concern as such changes can play a significant role in adaptation to …

Marine organisms' persistence hinges on the capacity for acclimatization and adaptation to
the myriad of interacting environmental stressors associated with global climate change. In …

Epigenetic mechanisms are an underappreciated and often ignored component of an
organism's response to environmental change and may underlie many types of phenotypic …

Biomarkers, as measurable characteristics of normal or pathogenic processes, are used in
the context of human health and to monitor animal welfare and ecosystem status. Epigenetic …

Environmental epigenetic is an emerging field that studies the cause–effect relationship
between environmental factors and heritable trait via an alteration in epigenetic marks. This …

Herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) and fish represent important sentinel and indicator
species for environmental and ecosystem health. It is widely accepted that the epigenome …

Epigenetics, potentially heritable changes in genome function that occur without alterations
to DNA sequence, is an important but understudied component of ecotoxicology studies. A …

In this horizon scan article, I review the emerging area of ecological epigenetics in marine
animals with studies of DNA methylation as the primary focus. Epigenetic mechanisms such …
