Cover image: Podarcis lizard from the Southern Adriatic (Croatia). These lizards often include plant matter into their diet, and some populations have rapidly adapted to these novel diets after having been introduced on some islands. Epigenetic mechanisms have been invoked to explain the rapid phenotypic changes that have taken place in these introduced populations. Our Special Feature: Epigenetics in Ecology and Evolution highlights the diversity of epigenetic mechanisms that may lead to rapid changes in phenotype and the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in ecology and evolution.
