• Phenotypic plasticity, within and across generations (transgenerational plasticity), allows organisms and their progeny to adapt to the environment without modification of the underlying DNA. Recent ...

Adaptive transgenerational plasticity (TGP), i.e., significantly higher fitness when maternal and offspring conditions match, might contribute to the population growth of non-native species in highly ...

A new pair of articles has shown that sexual lineage matters for how offspring receive adaptations from parents in stickleback fish. Researchers studied how parents who were exposed to predators ...

A recent study has revealed the genetic mechanisms behind transgenerational phenotypic plasticity—a crucial factor in plant adaptation to environmental changes. By investigating Arabidopsis thaliana ...

A new pair of papers published in the Journal of Animal Ecology has shown that sexual lineage matters for how offspring receive adaptations from parents in stickleback fish. Researchers in the Bell ...

This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health award number 2R01GM082937-06A1 to Alison Bell and National Institutes of Health NRSA fellowship F32GM121033 to Jennifer Hellmann. First, we ...

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of one genome to develop distinct phenotypes in response to biotic or abiotic environmental stimuli. Notorious examples of phenotypic plasticity in plants include ...
