Abstract excerpt
Climate change and intensifying human activity are posing serious threats to marine organisms. The fluctuating intertidal zone forms a miniature ecosystem of a rapidly changing environment for studying biological adaptation. Transgenerational plasticity (TGP), an evolutionary phenomenon in which parental experience influences offspring phenotypes, provides an avenue for adaptation, but the molecular mechanism was...
