Local adaptation in the transgenerational response to copper pollution in the bryozoan Bugula neritina

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Transgenerational plasticity (TGP)—when a parent or previous generation's environmental experience affects offspring phenotype without involving a genetic change—can be an important mechanism allowing for rapid adaptation.

Chronic arsenate exposure affects amphipod size distribution and reproduction [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Arsenate (As V) is the predominant inorganic species of arsenic in oxic aquatic environments. Chronic water quality criteria for arsenate have not been established due to the scarcity of relevant studies on its impact on aquatic biota.

Deviation from Mendelian transmission of autosomal SNPs can be used to estimate germline mutations in humans exposed to ionizing radiation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
We aimed to estimate the rate of germline mutations in the offspring of individuals accidentally exposed to Cesium-137 ionizing radiation. The study included two distinct groups: one of cases, consisting of males and females accidentally exposed to low ...
