Epigenetics for ecologists.

Ecology letters - 1 Feb 2008

Bossdorf Oliver, Richards Christina L, Pigliucci Massimo

Abstract excerpt

There is now mounting evidence that heritable variation in ecologically relevant traits can be generated through a suite of epigenetic mechanisms, even in the absence of genetic variation. Moreover, recent studies indicate that epigenetic variation in natural populations can be independent from genetic variation, and that in some cases environmentally induced epigenetic changes may be inherited by future...
