Epigenetic inheritance is another piece of the puzzle of nongenetic inheritance, although the
prevalence, sources, persistence, and phenotypic consequences of heritable epigenetic …

Epigenetic phenomena in animals and plants are mediated by DNA methylation and stable
chromatin modifications. There has been considerable interest in whether environmental …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

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

Growing evidence shows that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to complex traits, with
implications across many fields of biology. In plant ecology, recent studies have attempted to …

In recent years enormous progress has been made in understanding the role of epigenetic
regulation response to environmental stimuli, especially in response to stresses. Molecular …

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 …

Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute to the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity
of plant species, and may be especially important for long‐lived organisms with complex life …

The expansion of invasive species challenges our understanding of the process of
adaptation. Given that the invasion process often entails population bottlenecks, it is …
