Online now: The overlooked role of epigenetics in fisheries-induced evolution
The overlooked role of epigenetics in fisheries-induced evolutionFisheries-induced evolution (FIE) is typically framed in terms of genetic change, yet epigenetic processes linking environmental variation to phenotype remain overlooked. We propose that selective harvesting, by restructuring demographic and ecological conditions, can shape epigenetically mediated phenotypic responses in exploited populations, with important implications for FIE research and fisheries management.dlvr.it
