Epigenetic variation in animal populations: Sources, extent, phenotypic implications, and ecological and evolutionary relevance.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Jan 2021

Vogt Gunter

Abstract excerpt

Laboratory experiments and fieldwork with asexually reproducing invertebrates and vertebrates clearly revealed that animal populations can produce substantial phenotypic variation despite genetic identity. This epigenetically caused phenotypic variation comes from two different sources, namely directional environmental induction and bed-hedging developmental stochasticity. Both occur together and are mediated by...
