Juvenile food limitation in standardized tests: a warning to ecotoxicologists
Standard ecotoxicological tests are as simple as possible and food sources are mainly chosen for practical reasons. Since some organisms change their food preferences during the life-cycle, they might be food limited at some stage if we do not account for such a switch. As organisms tend to respond more sensitively to toxicant exposure under food limitation, the interpretation of test results m...
متن کاملEpigenetics for ecologists.
There is now mounting evidence that heritable variation in ecologically relevant traits can be generated through a suite of epigenetic mechanisms, even in the absence of genetic variation. Moreover, recent studies indicate that epigenetic variation in natural populations can be independent from genetic variation, and that in some cases environmentally induced epigenetic changes may be inherited...

متن کاملEpigenetics
In this issue we focus on the topic of Epigenetics, the study of heritable phenotypic traits not encoded by the genetic sequence. While every cell in your body has a copy of your genetic code in the form of DNA, many of the unique features between different cell types and between different individuals arise from unique patterns of gene expression. In recent decades, it has become increasingly c...
