Lamarck revisited: Evidence for thermal transgenerational plasticity – Dr. Santiago Salinas

September 20, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Over the past few years, we have learned that parents can predict the environment the offspring will experience and get them ready for it — a biological head start of sorts. Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs whenever the environment of the parents helps shape how offspring look and behave. Importantly, these responses are not a result of genetic changes, so they can be rapid and effective. In this talk, I will highlight published and unpublished, empirical and model-based research I have conducted on thermal TGP in fish.
