Epigenetic pathways are essential in different biological processes and in phenotype-
environment interactions in response to different stressors and they can induce phenotypic …

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 …

The present system of radiation protection assumes that exposure at low doses and/or low
dose-rates leads to health risks linearly related to the dose. They are evaluated by a …

Despite decades of research to understand the biological effects of ionising radiation, there
is still much uncertainty over the role of dose rate. Motivated by a virtual workshop on the …

Domestication of wild animals induces a set of phenotypic characteristics collectively known
as the domestication syndrome. However, how this syndrome emerges is still not clear …

Organisms mount the cellular stress response whenever environmental parameters exceed
the range that is conducive to maintaining homeostasis. This response is critical for survival …

Sex determination is a complex process that can be influenced by environment in various
taxa. Disturbed environments can affect population sex ratios and thus threaten their …

Genetic architecture and phenotypic plasticity are important considerations when studying
trait variation within and among populations. Since environmental change can induce shifts …

Accumulating evidence shows that environmental changes can affect population sex ratios
through epigenetic regulation of gene expression in species where sex depends on both …

The issue of potential long-term or hereditary effects for both humans and wildlife exposed to
low doses (or dose rates) of ionising radiation is a major concern. Chronic exposure to …
