Epigenetic Adaptation to Local Ecologies as a First Step toward Gene: Culture Co-evolution.Epigenetic modifications comprise heritable gene expression changes that occur without alteration of the DNA sequence and 'co-act' with genetic factors to shape development processes and evolutionary trajectories. Multicellular organisms receive different types of environmental stimuli/stresses that trigger epigenetic modifications during development. These environmentally driven mechanisms represent an underlying cause of phenotypic diversity, especially in metazoans. This book aims to present some of the latest epigenetic insights into the development of metazoans (including humans) as an intersection between their ecology and evolution.Biomedical and Life Sciences SeriesEpigeneticsDevelopmental biologyEvolutionary developmental biologyMolecular evolutionZoologyEvolutionary geneticsEpigeneticsDevelopmental Biology and Stem CellsEvolutionary Developmental BiologyMolecular EvolutionZoologyEvolutionary GeneticsEpigenetics.Developmental biology.Evolutionary developmental biology.Molecular evolution.Zoology.Evolutionary genetics.Epigenetics.Developmental Biology and Stem Cells.Evolutionary Developmental Biology.Molecular Evolution.Zoology.Evolutionary Genetics.572.865572.865Vaschetto Luis MaríaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910616368803321Epigenetics, Development, Ecology and Evolution2937938UNINA
