Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, unknown): “Herrera and Bazaga, 2013), including the transmission of environmental effects across generations such as the above-mentioned transgenerational plasticity, but also to the regulation of gene function induced by the environment within an individual’s life cycle (Bossdorf et al., 2008; Richards et al.”
Genomics and the future of conservation genetics (2010, background): “Although we have focused on genomic techniques that detect variation in DNA sequences, emerging techniques also allow the study of epigenetics , which may have an important role in conservation genetics in the futur”
Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “, DNA methylation, histone modification, RNAi) that modify gene expression but do not change DNA sequence and may lead to heritable change in phenotype (Nicotra et al. 2010; Richards et al. 2010; Martin et al. 2011; Richards 2011).”
Invasive plant species are locally adapted just as frequently and at least as strongly as native plant species (2016, background): “Besides local adaptation, phenotypic plasticity is the other major mechanism that has been proposed to explain the ability of plants to inhabit a broad range of environmental conditions (Baker 1965; van Kleunen & Fischer 2005; Richards et al. 2010).”
