Are epigenetic changes involved in evolution?
To start I will repost some of an answer I have previously posted, which will explain what evolution is:

Evolution is simply a process of change.  It is a change in trait values of populations over time. It results from four mechanisms: mutation, migration, drift, and selection. 


  "Evolution means change, change in the form and behaviour of organisms
  between generations. ... When members of a population breed and
  produce the next generation we can imagine a lineage of populations,
  made up of a series of populations through time. Each population is
  ancestral to the descendant population in the next generation: a
  lineage is an ancestor-descendent series of populations. Evolution is
  then change between generations within a population lineage." - Ridley,
  Evolution


Your Answer:

Evolution depends on the inheritance of information from the ancestral population to the descendant population. Much of the time we talk about information in the form of genetic variation, the information contained within the DNA. However, more and more we are realising that other forms of information transmission can occur, including epigenetic effects, and that these can contribute to evolution.

  tree; the tree (the DNA sequence) is still the same, but the
  decorations (epigenetic modifications) change how it's perceived." ...
  
  "Over the past few years, several studies have compared the epigenetic
  modifications of our genome with that of other great apes, leading to
  an emerging picture of the importance of epigenetics in our recent
  evolutionary history." ...

  is an active and exciting area of research..." - Nature Scitable
