Epigenetic Diversity and the Evolutionary Potential of Wild Populations

Miguel Baltazar‐Soares,
Alice Balard,
Melanie J. Heckwolf

Abstract: Fast‐paced selective pressures imposed by climate change and anthropogenic activities call for adaptive evolutionary responses to emerge at ecological timescales. However, the evolution and heritability of genomic variation underlie mechanistic constraints, which dictate a slower pace of adaptation exclusively relying on standing genetic variation and novel mutations. Environmentally responsive epigenetic mechanisms can allow acclimatisation and adaptive phenotypes to arise faster than DNA sequence‐based mecha… Show more
