Phenotypic plasticity, both within and across generations, is an important mechanism that
organisms use to cope with rapid climate change. While an increasing number of studies …

Phenotypic plasticity can serve as a stepping stone towards adaptation. Recently, studies
have shown that gene expression contributes to emergent stress responses such as thermal …

Ocean acidification severely affects bivalves, especially their larval stages. Consequently,
the fate of this ecologically and economically important group depends on the capacity and …

A current critical issue in climate change studies is how temperature changes and shifts on
different spatial and temporal scales can affect organisms in terms of trends, variability and …

Determining the resilience of a species or population to climate change stressors is an
important but difficult task because resilience can be affected both by genetically based …

Epigenetic mechanisms such as changes in DNA methylation have the potential to affect the
resilience of species to climate change, but little is known about the response of the …

Epigenetic inheritance has been proposed to contribute to adaptation and acclimation via
two information channels:(i) inducible epigenetic marks that enable transgenerational …

It is well known that oxidative stress is a major cause of DNA damage and telomere attrition.
Most endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the mitochondria …

Temperature is an important environmental modulator of teleost immune activity.
Susceptibility of teleosts to temperature variation depends on the species‐specific adaptive …

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 …
