Contribution of Epigenetic Mechanisms in the Regulation of Environmentally-Induced Polyphenism in Insects

Many insect species display a remarkable ability to produce discrete phenotypes in response to changes in environmental conditions. Such phenotypic plasticity is referred to as polyphenism. Seasonal, dispersal and caste polyphenisms correspond to the most-studied examples that are environmentally-in...
