Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association DNA methylation differentiation correlated significantly with adaptive genetic divergence across habitats.
- Association Some epigenetic differences may respond to local habitats.
- Association Epigenetic diversity was affected mostly by soil nutrient availability.
- Association Epigenetic variation correlated more strongly with phenotypic traits than genetic variation did.
- Association Genetically based differentiation correlated with heterogeneous habitats.
- Mechanism Epigenetic variation played a role in ecological differentiation.
- Recommendation The authors recommended considering intraspecific variation when assessing global change responses.
