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

Epigenetic marks affecting the expression of genes are triggered by environmental stimuli,
can persist throughout life or across multiple generations and can affect an individuals …

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 …

The DNA methylation landscape is dynamically patterned during development and distinct
methylation patterns distinguish healthy from diseased cells. However, whether tissue …

Epigenetic mechanisms generate plastic phenotypes that can become locally adapted
across environments. Disentangling genomic from epigenomic variation is challenging in …

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

DNA methylation is crucial for normal development and cellular differentiation in many large-
genome eukaryotes. The small tropical freshwater fish Danio rerio (zebrafish) has recently …

In natural fish populations, temperature increases can result in shifts in important phenotypic
traits. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism mediating phenotypic changes …

Epigenetic modifications are thought to be one of the molecular mechanisms involved in
plastic adaptive responses to environmental variation. However, studies reporting …

Ocean global warming affects the distribution, life history and physiology of marine life.
Extreme events, like marine heatwaves, are increasing in frequency and intensity. During …
