Non-genetic inheritance of induced defense morphologies across multiple unexposed generations of <i>Daphnia lumholtzi</i>

2025-09-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Teaser Text</h4> Can the ghosts of environments past shape organismal phenotypes of future generations? In an experiment with clonal Daphnia lumholtzi , we reveal that predator-induced changes in body shape in one generation can persist across several unexposed generations, even when the predator signal is long gone. Exposing only the first generation to predator cues, we tracked morphological shifts through...
