摘 要：摘 要：生态表观遗传学是一门利用表观遗传学的理论知识研究个体表型可塑性、生态互作和不同生境下种群分化、环境适应、物种进化等生态学现象的科学。目前，从分子层面阐明表观遗传机制的研究越来越多，但随着研究体系的逐渐扩大，研究者发现，环境的改变对表观遗传修饰同样发挥重要的作用。高通量测序技术的进步和数学模型的广泛应用为研究表观遗传学在生态环境与物种进化方面所起的作用提供了新的研究思路和方法。本综述回顾了近年来生态表观遗传学最新的实验研究和理论观点，并展望了生态表观遗传学未来的发展前景。
Abstract: Abstract: Ecological epigenetics is a science that uses epigenetic theoretical knowledge to study individual phenotypic plasticity， ecological interactions， and population phenomena such as population differentiation， environmental adaptation， and species evolution in different habitats. At present， more and more studies have been done to elucidate the mechanism of epigenetic modification at the molecular level， but with the gradual expansion of the research system， researchers have found that environmental changes also play an important role in epigenetic modification. With the advancement of high throughput sequencing technology and the wide application of mathematical models， novel ideas and methods have been provided to study the role of epigenetics in ecological environment and species evolution. This article reviews the latest experimental research and theoretical perspectives of ecological epigenetics in recent years and looks forward to the future development of ecological epigenetics.
