Transgenerational plasticity alters parasite fitness in changing environments. [PDF]
Parasitology, 2022 AbstractTransgenerational plasticity can help organisms respond rapidly to changing environments. Most prior studies of transgenerational plasticity in host–parasite interactions have focused on the host, leaving us with a limited understanding of transgenerational plasticity of parasites.

Predator-induced transgenerational plasticity in animals: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2022 AbstractThere is growing evidence that the environment experienced by one generation can influence phenotypes in the next generation via transgenerational plasticity (TGP). One of the best-studied examples of TGP in animals is predator-induced transgenerational plasticity, whereby exposing parents to predation risk triggers changes in offspring ...

Transgenerational Plasticity in Human-Altered Environments. [PDF]
Trends Ecol Evol, 2020 Our ability to predict how species will respond to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) may depend upon our understanding of transgenerational plasticity (TGP), which occurs when environments experienced by previous generations influence phenotypes of subsequent generations.

Transgenerational plasticity of inducible defences: Combined effects of grand‐parental, parental and current environments [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Phenotypic plasticity can occur across generations (transgenerational plasticity) when environments experienced by the previous generations influenced offspring phenotype.

Transgenerational Plasticity and Bet-Hedging: A Framework for Reaction Norm Evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Decision-making under uncertain conditions favors bet-hedging (avoidance of fitness variance), whereas predictable environments favor phenotypic plasticity.

Transgenerational Plasticity of Maternal Hemolymph Trehalose in Aphids. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolABSTRACTAphids exhibit a unique reproductive strategy known as pseudoplacental viviparity, in which embryos develop internally and are thought to receive nutrients such as sugars and amino acids directly from the maternal hemolymph through an ovariole sheath, bypassing the need for traditional yolk storage.

Exploring links between climatic predictability and the evolution of within- and transgenerational plasticity. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 ABSTRACT In variable environments, phenotypic plasticity can increase fitness by providing tight environment-phenotype matching. However, adaptive plasticity is expected to evolve only when the future selective environment can be predicted based on the prevailing conditions. That is, the juvenile environment should be

Extended evolutionary psychology: the importance of transgenerational developmental plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 What kind mechanisms one deems central for the evolutionary process deeply influences one’s understanding of the nature of organisms, including cognition.

Evolution, not transgenerational plasticity, explains the adaptive divergence of acorn ant thermal tolerance across an urban–rural temperature cline [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Although studies increasingly disentangle phenotypic plasticity from evolutionary responses to environmental change, few test for transgenerational plasticity in this context.

Effects of Transgenerational Plasticity on Morphological and Physiological Properties of Stoloniferous Herb Centella asiatica Subjected to High/Low Light [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Environmentally induced transgenerational plasticity can increase success of progeny and thereby be adaptive if progeny experiences the similarly parental environment.
