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 …

The adaptive value of transgenerational effects (the ancestor environmental effects on
offspring) in changing environments has received much attention in recent years, but the …

We begin this article by delineating the explanatory gaps left by prevailing gene‐focused
approaches in our understanding of phenotype determination, inheritance, and the origin of …

Epigenetic pathways are essential in different biological processes and in phenotype-
environment interactions in response to different stressors and they can induce phenotypic …

Understanding the evolutionary and ecological roles of'non-genetic'inheritance (NGI) is
daunting due to the complexity and diversity of epigenetic mechanisms. We draw on insights …

Existing insight suggests that maternal effects have a substantial impact on evolution, yet
these predictions assume that maternal effects themselves are evolutionarily constant …

There is renewed interest in how transgenerational environmental effects, including
epigenetic inheritance, contribute to adaptive evolution. The contribution of across …

It is a familiar biological observation that the traits of an organism will vary to some extent
depending on environmental conditions. This individual flexibility is termed 'phenotypic …

Until recently, biology lacked a framework for studying how information from genes, parental
effects, and different personal experiences is combined across the lifetime to affect …

All organisms live in temporally fluctuating environments. Theory predicts that the evolution
of deterministic maternal effects (ie, anticipatory maternal effects or transgenerational …
