Environmental factors that trigger epigenetic mechanisms: Schematic representation of an insect (represented by a bee silhouette) illustrating the main EMMs found. The colored arrows denote the five main environmental factors that have been described in the literature that trigger the different epigenetic responses in the organism. These responses may be pre-transcriptional such as DNAm and histone modifications, or post-transcriptional such as miRNA interference. Figure by Gabriela Olivares-Castro [64].
