Environmental factors can promote phenotypic variation through alterations in the
epigenome and facilitate adaptation of an organism to the environment. Although hydrogen …

Replicated ecological gradients are prime systems to study processes of molecular
evolution underlying ecological divergence. Here, we investigated the repeated adaptation …

Epigenetic mechanisms generate plastic phenotypes that can become locally adapted
across environments. Disentangling genomic from epigenomic variation is challenging in …

The notorious plasticity of gene expression responses and the complexity of environmental
gradients complicate the identification of adaptive differences in gene regulation among …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a potent toxicant interfering with oxidative phosphorylation in
mitochondria and creating extreme environmental conditions in aquatic ecosystems. The …

Epigenetic mechanisms are an underappreciated and often ignored component of an
organism's response to environmental change and may underlie many types of phenotypic …

Genetic architecture and phenotypic plasticity are important considerations when studying
trait variation within and among populations. Since environmental change can induce shifts …

Epigenetic processes (eg, DNA methylation) have been proposed as potentially important
evolutionary mechanisms. However, before drawing conclusions about their evolutionary …

This project aims at investigating the link between individual epigenetic variability (not
related to genetic variability) and the variation of natural environmental conditions. We …

An epigenetic basis for transgenerational plasticity in animals is widely theorized, but
convincing empirical support is limited by taxa-specific differences in the presence and role …
