Assessing Rapid Adaptation Through Epigenetic Inheritance: A New Experimental Approach
Summary statement Epigenetic inheritance is hypothesized to lead to rapid adaptation, yet evidence is scarce, possibly because of the current experimental approaches. We propose a new approach to simultaneously assess whether species adapt through selection of epimutations or formation of stress‐induced epialleles.
