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 …

Despite being recognized as a promoter of diversity and a condition for local coexistence
decades ago, the importance of intraspecific variance has been neglected over time in …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

Plants respond to environmental conditions not only by plastic changes to their own
development and physiology, but also by altering the phenotypes expressed by their …

Although there is keen interest in the potential adaptive value of epigenetic variation, it is
unclear what conditions favor the stability of these variants either within or across …

An organism's phenotype can be influenced by maternal cues and directly perceived
environmental cues, as well as by its genotype at polymorphic loci, which can be interpreted …

Transgenerational effects that are interpreted in terms of epigenetics have become an
important research focus at a time when rapid environmental changes are occurring. These …

Environmental signals can induce phenotypic changes that span multiple generations.
Along with phenotypic responses that occur during development (ie 'within …

Transgenerational plasticity in plants enables rapid adaptation to environmental changes,
allowing organisms and their offspring to adapt to the environment without altering their …

Trichomes, or leaf hairs, are epidermal extensions that take a variety of forms and perform
many functions in plants, including herbivore defence. In this study, I document genetically …
