Parental effects in ecology and evolution: mechanisms, processes and implications.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Apr 2009

Badyaev Alexander V, Uller Tobias

Abstract excerpt

As is the case with any metaphor, parental effects mean different things to different biologists--from developmental induction of novel phenotypic variation to an evolved adaptation, and from epigenetic transference of essential developmental resources to a stage of inheritance and ecological succession. Such a diversity of perspectives illustrates the composite nature of parental effects that, depending on the...
