Abstract:The field of ecological epigenetics aims to understand the implications of epigenetic modifications in adaptation, inheritance and ultimately, evolution. Many questions remain open within ecological epigenetics, in particular, how epigenetic variation is influenced by genetic background, the extent of environmentally-induced epigenetic variants, as well as its degree of heritability. This thesis used the unique diversity of mating systems present in the killifish genus Kryptolebias to investigate how genetic a… Show more
