Epigenetic Changes Associated With a Phenotypic Transition in Namibian Cheetahs

In populations with low genetic diversity, the capacity to adapt to environmental change is limited. While epigenetic mechanisms can generate phenotypic plasticity, their role in mediating adaptive life‐history transitions in the wild is largely unknown. Here, we show that in adult Namibian cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus j...
