Developmental plasticity and evolutionary explanations
Evolution & Development, 2019AbstractDevelopmental plasticity looks like a promising bridge between ecological and developmental perspectives on evolution. Yet, there is no consensus on whether plasticity is part of the explanation for adaptive evolution or an optional “add‐on” to genes and natural selection.

Abstract As chicks grow from neonate to adult, they may encounter periods of food restriction that can affect their development. Poor feeding conditions can suppress normal growth and may even affect adult morphology (chapter 15). To maximize its survival, a chick should manage its resources so that tissue growth and maintenance can be ...

Gravity and developmental plasticity
Advances in Space Research, 1998Living organisms, especially plants, show some plasticity in their overall development, usually as a response to the external environment. Plasticity may apply not only to the external form of organisms but also to their physiology as well as to the detailed structure of their genome.

Developmental plasticity and human health
Nature, 2004Many plants and animals are capable of developing in a variety of ways, forming characteristics that are well adapted to the environments in which they are likely to live. In adverse circumstances, for example, small size and slow metabolism can facilitate survival, whereas larger size and more rapid metabolism have advantages for reproductive success ...

Developmental plasticity and memory
Behavioural Brain Research, 1995The cerebral cortex of young kittens is known to be highly malleable during early postnatal development. However, most studies of developmental plasticity have been conducted in primary visual cortex. It has long been unclear to what extent similar plasticity exists in higher cortical areas.

Developmental plasticity of photoreceptors
2004During development, retinal ganglion cells undergo conspicuous structural remodeling as they gradually attain their mature morphology and connectivity. Alterations in their dendritic organization and in their axonal projections can also be achieved following early insult to their targets or their afferents.

Developmental plasticity and evolution
Choice Reviews Online, 2003The first comprehensive synthesis on development and evolution: it applies to all aspects of development, at all levels of organization and in all organisms, taking advantage of modern findings on behavior, genetics, endocrinology, molecular biology, evolutionary theory and phylogenetics to show the connections between developmental mechanisms and ...

Developmental Plasticity and Heterokairy
2018There is a resurgence of interest in using phenotypic plasticity, ‘the environmentally sensitive production of alternative phenotypes by given genotypes’, as a framework in the study of evolutionary biology. The term developmental plasticity describes a more specific strand of investigation dealing with how alterations to developmental processes and ...
