Environment has a critical role in the natural selection process for Darwinian evolution. The
primary molecular component currently considered for neo-Darwinian evolution involves …

The role of natural selection in the evolution of adaptive phenotypes has undergone
constant probing by evolutionary biologists, employing both theoretical and empirical …

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

Phenotypic plasticity is an important mechanism for populations to buffer themselves from
environmental change. While it has long been appreciated that natural populations possess …

Current knowledge of the genetic, epigenetic, behavioural and symbolic systems of
inheritance requires a revision and extension of the mid-twentieth-century, gene …

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 …

Previous studies have shown a wide variety of environmental toxicants and abnormal
nutrition can promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease. More recently …

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 …

The field of molecular biology is advancing fast with new powerful technologies, sequencing
methods and analysis software being developed constantly. Commonly used tools originally …

Rapid environmental change is predicted to compromise population survival, and the
resulting strong selective pressure can erode genetic variation, making evolutionary rescue …
