Evolutionary rescue via transgenerational plasticity: Evidence and implications for conservation
Evolution & Development, 2021 AbstractWhen a population experiences severe stress from a changing environment, evolution by natural selection can prevent its extinction, a process dubbed “evolutionary rescue.” However, evolution may be unable to track the sort ofrapidenvironmental change being experienced by many modern‐day populations.

DNA methylation mediates genetic variation for adaptive transgenerational plasticity. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Environmental stresses experienced by individual parents can influence offspring phenotypes in ways that enhance survival under similar conditions. Although such adaptive transgenerational plasticity is well documented, its transmission mechanisms are generally unknown. One possible mechanism is environmentally induced DNA methylation changes.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Environmental variation experienced by a single genotype can induce phenotypic plasticity in various traits, such as behavioural, physiological and developmental characteristics. It can occur within the lifetime of an individual through within-generation

An Integrative Framework for Understanding the Mechanisms and Multigenerational Consequences of Transgenerational Plasticity. [PDF]
Annu Rev Ecol Evol Syst, 2019 Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when the environment experienced by a parent influences the development of their offspring. In this article, we develop a framework for understanding the mechanisms and multigenerational consequences of TGP. First, we conceptualize the mechanisms of TGP in the context of communication between parents (senders ...

Vitamin B12 induces memory of predation through vitellogenin provisioning [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNutritional effects on trait inheritance are widespread in animals including human famines, representing some of the most severe environmental influences on organismal phenotypes and can be transmitted over generations.

Sensitive windows for within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Transgenerational plasticity could be an important mechanism for adaptation to variable environments in addition to within-generational plasticity. But its potential for adaptation may be restricted to specific developmental windows that are highly ...

Transgenerational Plasticity in the Context of Predator-Prey Interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Almost all animal species are engaged in predator-prey interactions. These interactions, variable in time and space, favor the emergence and evolution of phenotypic plasticity, which allows prey to fine-tune their phenotype to the current risk of ...
