Summary

This review maps the scientific literature on paternal effects — how a father's environment and experiences can influence offspring health — using bibliometric analysis to identify research clusters. This paper is focused on evolutionary biology and epigenetics and is not directly related to microplastic research.

The literature on paternal effects is large and disparate. Our study helps in fostering connections between areas of knowledge that develop in parallel, but which could benefit from the lateral transfer of concepts and methods.
