Population epigenetics explores the extent of epigenetic variation and its dynamics in
natural populations encountering changing environmental conditions. In contrast to …

Pollutants, such as toxic metals, negatively influence organismal health and performance,
even leading to population collapses. Studies in model organisms have shown that …

Epigenetic mechanisms impact several phenotypic traits and may be important for ecology
and evolution. The introduced house sparrow (Passer domesticus) exhibits extensive …

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 …

Epigenetic inheritance can result in plastic responses to changing environments being
faithfully transmitted to offspring. However, it remains unclear how epigenetic mechanisms …

Background DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms for the regulation of
gene expression in eukaryotes. In the standard model, methylation in gene promoters has …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that mediates diverse processes
such as cellular differentiation, phenotypic plasticity, and genomic imprinting. Mounting …

Transgenerational inheritance of environmentally induced epigenetic marks can have
significant impacts on eco-evolutionary dynamics, but the phenomenon remains …

The induction of triploidization in fish is a very common practice in aquaculture. Although
triploidization has been applied successfully in many salmonid species, little is known about …

Methylation of cytosines in the CG context (mCG) is the most abundant DNA modification in
vertebrates that plays crucial roles in cellular differentiation and identity. After fertilization …
