Ancestral environmental exposures such as toxicants, abnormal nutrition or stress can
promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease and phenotypic variation …

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 …

Heat‐shock proteins (Hsps) and their cognates are primary mitigators of cell stress. With
increasingly severe impacts of climate change and other human modifications of the …

The first goal of this paper was to overview modern approaches to local adaptation, with a
focus on the use of population genomics data to detect signals of natural selection in fishes …

The ability of developing immunological memory, a characteristic feature of adaptive
immunity, is clearly present also in innate immune responses. In fact, it is well known that …

The prevalence of obesity and associated diseases has reached pandemic levels. Obesity is
often associated with overnutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, but clearly other factors also …

Environmental stresses experienced by individual parents can influence offspring
phenotypes in ways that enhance survival under similar conditions. Although such adaptive …

Environmental exposures such as toxicants, nutrition and stress have been shown to
promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease susceptibility. Endocrine …

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

Environmental factors can induce epigenetic alterations in the germ cells that can potentially
be transmitted transgenerationally. This non-genetic form of inheritance is termed epigenetic …
