Abstract excerpt
Heat stress will increasingly affect populations as climate change leads to higher temperatures and more frequent heat waves. Recent work suggests that interactions between the epigenome and transposable elements (TEs) could link environmental acclimation with rapid evolution. Yet little is known about how these processes interact in natural genetic backgrounds or shape evolutionarily relevant phenotypes. To...
