Long term environmental variability modulates the epigenetics of maternal traits of kelp crabs in the coast of Chile

Abstract The methylation of DNA is an environmentally inducible epigenetic mechanism reflecting the short‐term ecological and environmental background of populations. Marine invertebrate populations, which spread along a latitudinal cline, are particularly suitable for profiling DNA methylation, due...
