Transgenerational inheritance of DNA hypomethylation in Daphnia magna in response to salinity stress [PDF]

, 2018
Epigenetic mechanisms have been found to play important roles in environmental stress response and regulation. These can, theoretically, be transmitted to future unexposed generations, yet few studies have shown persisting stress-induced ...

Epigenetics and transgenerational inheritance

The Journal of Physiology, 2023
AbstractEpigenetic modifications can alter the function of genes. The epigenetics changes are caused by environmental effects, which lead to chemical modifications of the DNA or the chromatin. The mechanisms involve the influence of small interfering siRNAs on gene silencing.

State of the spread of the exotic parasitoid wasp Leptopilina japonica tracking the route of its invasive host fly Drosophila suzukii in France

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
To document the current distribution of Leptopilina japonica in France and compare its genetic background, we collected wild fleshy‐fruited plants and cultivated cherries from 11 sites across different regions. The fruits were collected from the canopy. We calculated the percentage of emerging individuals of L.

Distinct actions of ancestral vinclozolin and juvenile stress on neural gene expression in the male rat

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Exposure to the endocrine disrupting chemical vinclozolin during gestation of an F0 generation and/or chronic restraint stress during adolescence of the F3 descendants affects behavior, physiology, and gene expression in the brain.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Adipocyte epigenetic alterations and potential therapeutic targets in transgenerationally inherited lean and obese phenotypes following ancestral exposures

Adipocyte, 2019
The incidence of obesity has increased dramatically over the past two decades with a prevalence of approximately 40% of the adult population within the United States.

Empirical patterns of environmental variation favor adaptive transgenerational plasticity

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Effects of parental environment on offspring traits have been well known for decades. Interest in this transgenerational form of phenotypic plasticity has recently surged due to advances in our understanding of its mechanistic basis. Theoretical research

Narrating health and well‐being with vulnerable participants: The ethics of composite fiction as a creative method in health geographies

Area, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper explores the ethical and creative value of composite fiction as a method for engaging with vulnerable participants in health geography research. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Port Talbot, South Wales, it examines how composite fiction can allow for co‐creation, to challenge authorial authority, support the ethical ...
