Understanding the evolutionary and ecological roles of'non-genetic'inheritance (NGI) is
daunting due to the complexity and diversity of epigenetic mechanisms. We draw on insights …

Organisms can change their physiological/behavioural traits to adapt and survive in
changed environments. However, whether these acquired traits can be inherited across …
