How early life experiences are stored on a molecular level and affect behavioural phenotypes later in life is not well understood. In fish, reproductive phenotypes are often easily discernible and frequently depend on previous life experiences. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism which is both sensitive to environmental conditions and stable across cell divisions. In this study, we [...]
