Transgenerational and within‐generation plasticity shape thermal performance curves [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
AbstractThermal performance curves (TPCs) compute the effects of temperature on the performance of ectotherms and are frequently used to predict the effect of environmental conditions and currently, climate change, on organismal vulnerability and sensitivity.

An Epigenetic Signature for Within-Generational Plasticity of a Reef Fish to Ocean Warming

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Elevated temperature can have detrimental effects on the physiological performance of many marine organisms. However, phenotypic plasticity may enable some populations to maintain their performance under thermal stress.

Transgenerational exposure to ocean acidification impacts the hepatic transcriptome of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

BMC Genomics, 2023
Physiological effects of ocean acidification associated with elevated CO2 concentrations in seawater is the subject of numerous studies in teleost fish.

Phenotypic plasticity in plant defense across life stages: Inducibility, transgenerational induction, and transgenerational priming in wild radish [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
As they develop, many plants deploy shifts in antiherbivore defense allocation due to changing costs and benefits of their defensive traits. Plant defenses are known to be primed or directly induced by herbivore damage within generations and across generations by long-lasting epigenetic mechanisms. However, little is known about the differences between

Parental experience modifies the Mimulus methylome

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Transgenerational plasticity occurs when the environmental experience of an organism modifies the growth and development of its progeny.

Long-Term Overgrazing-Induced Memory Decreases Photosynthesis of Clonal Offspring in a Perennial Grassland Plant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Previous studies of transgenerational plasticity have demonstrated that long-term overgrazing experienced by Leymus chinensis, an ecologically dominant, rhizomatous grass species in eastern Eurasian temperate grassland, significantly affects its clonal ...

Higher, Faster, Better: Maternal Effects Shorten Time Lags and Increase Morphological Defenses in Daphnia lumholtzi Offspring Generations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Prey species can respond to the presence of predators by inducing phenotypic plastic traits which form morphological, life history or behavioral defenses. These so-called inducible defenses have evolved within a cost-benefit framework.

Transgenerational exposure to marine heatwaves ameliorates the lethal effect on tropical copepods regardless of predation stress

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are emerging as a severe stressor in marine ecosystems. Extreme warm sea surface temperatures during MHWs often exceed the optimal thermal range for more than one generation of tropical coastal zooplankton.

Paternal hypoxia exposure primes offspring for increased hypoxia resistance

BMC Biology, 2022
Background In a time of rapid environmental change, understanding how the challenges experienced by one generation can influence the fitness of future generations is critically needed.

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...
