Epigenetic Programming and the Evolution of Adaptive Coping
Meeting Abstract S2-5 Saturday, Jan. 4 10:00 – 10:30 Epigenetic Programming and the Evolution of Adaptive Coping RUBENSTEIN, DR; Columbia University dr2497@columbia.edu http://www.columbia.edu/~dr2497/ Stressors during development can influence physiology, phenotype, and ultimately fitness later in life. Such development programming can be both adaptive by preparing organisms to deal with environmental conditions later on, or it can be […]
