From: Evidence base for non-genetic inheritance of environmental exposures in non-human animals and plants: a map of evidence syntheses with bibliometric analysis

Fig. 7

Heat maps showing the number of evidence syntheses within each of the five disciplines that examined A inter-versus trans-generational inheritance (also refer to Fig. 1), B if the terminology referring to non-genetic inheritance matched our definition provided in Fig. 1, C the type of environmental exposure, D the mode of transmission (i.e., through the matriline or patriline), E the timing of F0 (ancestral) environmental exposure, F the type of descendant traits, G the sex of descendants, and H the expected ‘direction’ of environmental effects on offspring (i.e., if the environment is expected to have a positive/beneficial effect or negative effect on offspring). Colors go from light (lowest number of articles) to dark (highest number of articles)
