There is now mounting evidence that heritable variation in ecologically relevant traits can be
generated through a suite of epigenetic mechanisms, even in the absence of genetic …

The role of epistasis in driving adaptation has remained an unresolved problem dating back
to the Evolutionary Synthesis. In particular, whether epistatic interactions among genes …

Understanding how organisms cope with global change is a major scientific challenge. The
molecular pathways underlying rapid adaptive phenotypic responses to global change …

Biodiversity conservation is a global issue where the challenge is to integrate all levels of
biodiversity to ensure the long‐term evolutionary potential and resilience of biological …

Epigenetic processes manage gene expression and products in a real‐time manner,
allowing a single genome to display different phenotypes. In this paper, we discussed the …

Plasticity enhances species fitness and survival under climate change. Ocean acidification
poses a potential threat to copepods, a major zooplankton group that serves as a key link …

The rapid growth in genomic techniques provides the potential to transform how we protect,
manage, and conserve marine life. Further, solutions to boost the resilience of marine …

Biologists have assumed that heritable variation due to DNA sequence differences (ie,
genetic variation) allows populations of organisms to be both robust and adaptable to …

Population genomic approaches are making rapid inroads in the study of non-model
organisms, including marine taxa. To date, these marine studies have predominantly …

The global acidification of the earth's oceans is predicted to impact biodiversity via
physiological effects impacting growth, survival, reproduction, and immunology, leading to …
