Phenotypic plasticity, both within and across generations, is an important mechanism that
organisms use to cope with rapid climate change. While an increasing number of studies …

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when the environment experienced by a parent
influences the development of their offspring. In this article, we develop a framework for …

A recent meta‐analysis concluded,'transgenerational effects are widespread, strong and
persistent'. We identify biases in the literature search, data and analyses, questioning that …

Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Global warming is expected to drive some ectothermic species beyond their thermal
tolerance in upcoming decades. Phenotypic plasticity, via developmental or …

Previous chapters have outlined the classic concept of plasticity, its mechanistic basis, and
its adaptive importance. Plasticity is the ability of an individual organism or genotype to …

Understanding the mechanisms by which individual organisms respond and populations
adapt to global climate change is a critical challenge. The role of plasticity and acclimation …

While it has been recognized for many years that parental condition can influence offspring
performance, recent research on adaptive parental effects has focused primarily on …

Phenotypic plasticity plays a key role for the ability of organisms to survive in heterogeneous
environments. The benefits of plasticity ensue from the ability to produce a phenotype …

Phenotypic plasticity (genotype× environment interaction) is an especially important means
for sessile organisms to cope with environmental variation. While kelps, the globally most …
