Rapid climate change is placing many marine species at risk of local extinction. Recent
studies show that epigenetic mechanisms (eg DNA methylation, histone modifications) can …

Epigenetic inheritance is a potential mechanism by which the environment in one
generation can influence the performance of future generations. Rapid climate change …

Background Epigenetic processes are proposed to be a mechanism regulating gene
expression during phenotypic plasticity. However, environmentally induced changes in DNA …

Although cross generation (CGP) and multigenerational (MGP) plasticity have been
identified as mechanisms of acclimation to global change, the weight of evidence indicates …

Epigenetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic change are hypothesized to contribute to
population persistence and adaptation in the face of environmental change. To date, few …

Rising ocean temperatures and extreme temperature events have precipitated declines and
local extinctions in many marine species globally, but patterns of loss are often uneven …

Transgenerational effects can buffer populations against environmental change, yet little is
known about underlying mechanisms, their persistence or the influence of environmental …

Gene expression plasticity can confer physiological plasticity in response to the
environment. However, whether epigenetic marks contribute to the dynamics of gene …

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation have the potential to affect organism
acclimatization and adaptation to environmental changes by influencing their phenotypic …

Phenotypic plasticity, within and across generations, is a strategy by which organisms can
respond rapidly to environmental change. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA …
