DNA methylation could shape phenotypic responses to environmental cues and underlie
developmental plasticity. Environmentally induced changes in DNA methylation during …

Epigenetic changes associated with early life conditions are known to play a significant role
in shaping the adult phenotype. Studies of DNA methylation in wild animals are lacking, yet …

As environmental fluctuations are becoming more common, organisms need to rapidly adapt
to anthropogenic, climatic, and ecological changes. Epigenetic modifications and DNA …

Background DNA methylation is likely a key mechanism regulating changes in gene
transcription in traits that show temporal fluctuations in response to environmental …

Both natural and experimentally manipulated brood size can influence the competition
dynamics among siblings in a nest and alter the environment during early development in …

The importance of DNA methylation in plastic responses to environmental change and
evolutionary dynamics is increasingly recognized. Here, we provide a Perspective piece on …

Disentangling the interaction between the genetic basis and environmental context
underlying phenotypic variation is critical for understanding organismal evolution …

Secondary sexual trait expression can be influenced by fixed individual factors (such as
genetic quality) as well as by dynamic factors (such as age and environmentally induced …

There is a significant amount of variation in DNA methylation characteristics across
organisms. Likewise, the biological role of DNA methylation varies across taxonomic …

Much of our knowledge on regulatory impacts of DNA methylation has come from laboratory‐
bred model organisms, which may not exhibit the full extent of variation found in wild …
