Body size, developmental instability, and climate change [PDF]
Evolution, 2018 Development is often temperature-dependent. We hypothesized smaller size and larger asymmetry with increasing temperatures. However, we also predicted associations with asymmetry to differ among traits that differ in their degree of functional importance (especially the functional wings in migratory birds were predicted to be more canalized), timing of

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Developmental systems integrate inputs of variation from different origins into the observable variation of the resulting phenotype. Different components of phenotypic variation can be distinguished that correspond to those inputs, but the response of ...

Developmental instability and phenotypic evolution in a small and isolated bear population. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2021 We explored fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and morphological integration (MI) in the skull of the small, highly inbred and divergent Apennine bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus), to explore its uniqueness and investigate any potential effects of inbreeding ...

Leaf phenotypic variation and developmental instability in relation to different light regimes
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2016 For pioneer plants, shaded habitats represent a stressful condition, where sunlight exposure is below the optimum level and so leaves expand in order to intercept a greater amount of light.

Plasticity via feedback reduces the cost of developmental instability. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2020 Costs of plasticity are thought to have important physiological and evolutionary consequences. A commonly predicted cost to plasticity is that plastic genotypes are likely to suffer from developmental instability.

Extreme developmental instability associated with wing plasticity in pea aphids. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 A key focus of evolutionary developmental biology is on how phenotypic diversity is generated. In particular, both plasticity and developmental instability contribute to phenotypic variation among genetically identical individuals, but the interactions ...

Is there plasticity in developmental instability? The effect of daily thermal fluctuations in an ectotherm. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 Diversified bet‐hedging (DBH) by production of within‐genotype phenotypic variance may evolve to maximize fitness in stochastic environments. Bet‐hedging is generally associated with parental effects, but phenotypic variation may also develop throughout ...

Symmetry, 2021 Phenotypic variation arises from genetic and environmental variation, as well as random aspects of development. The genetic (nature) and environmental (nurture) components of this variation have been appreciated since at least 1900.

Ecophenotypic Variation and Developmental Instability in the Late Cretaceous Echinoid Micraster brevis (Irregularia; Spatangoida). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 The Late Cretaceous echinoid genus Micraster (irregular echinoids, Spatangoida) is one of the most famous examples of a continuous evolutionary lineage in invertebrate palaeontology.

The genetics of phenotypic plasticity. XIII. Interactions with developmental instability. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 In a heterogeneous environment, natural selection on a trait can lead to a variety of outcomes, including phenotypic plasticity and bet-hedging through developmental instability.
