Addressing multi-generational non-genetic responses in experimental studies of evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Populations that face environmental change reducing their mean fitness can recover by adaptive genetic evolution over multiple generations, but their immediate responses may also involve non-genetic mechanisms, though the latter can be difficult to demonstrate. When the dynamics of such non-genetic changes in mean phenotype and fitness span multiple generations, their effects at the population level can be...
