Transgenerational Plasticity in Flower Color Induced by Caterpillars [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Variation in flower color due to transgenerational plasticity could stem directly from abiotic or biotic environmental conditions. Finding a link between biotic ecological interactions across generations and plasticity in flower color would indicate that

Empirical patterns of environmental variation favor adaptive transgenerational plasticity [PDF]
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

Seed Germination Indicates Adaptive Transgenerational Plasticity in a Submerged Macrophyte [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Adaptive transgenerational plasticity is an important evolutionary strategy in plants. We investigated the resource allocation strategy in sexual reproduction and performed an in situ seed germination experiment of Potamogeton maackianus to reveal their ...

A latitudinal gradient in thermal transgenerational plasticity and a test of theory [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when phenotypes are shaped by the environment in both the current and preceding generations. Transgenerational responses to rainfall, CO 2 and temperature suggest that TGP may play an important role in how species cope with climate change.

Transcriptional memory of gene expression across generations participates in transgenerational plasticity of field pennycress in response to cadmium stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when maternal environments influence the expression of traits in offspring, and in some cases may increase fitness of offspring and have evolutionary significance.

Separating Paternal and Maternal Contributions to Thermal Transgenerational Plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Climate change is rapidly altering the thermal environment in terrestrial and aquatic systems. Transgenerational thermal plasticity (TGP) – which occurs when the temperatures experienced by the parental generation prior to the fertilization of gametes ...

Transgenerational plasticity of reproduction depends on rate of warming across generations [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2016 AbstractPredicting the impacts of climate change to biological systems requires an understanding of the ability for species to acclimate to the projected environmental change through phenotypic plasticity. Determining the effects of higher temperatures on individual performance is made more complex by the potential for environmental conditions ...

Transgenerational plasticity in the eye size of Daphnia. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2021 It is well established that environmental signals can induce phenotypic responses that persist for multiple generations. The induction of such ‘transgenerational plasticity’ (TGP) depends upon the ability of organisms to accurately receive and process information from environmental signals. Thus, sensory systems are likely intertwined with TGP. Here we
