Genetic Assimilation and Canalisation in the Baldwin Effect [PDF]
, 2005 The Baldwin Effect indicates that individually learned behaviours acquired during an organism’s lifetime can influence the evolutionary path taken by a population, without any direct Lamarckian transfer of traits from phenotype to genotype.

The evolution of age-dependent plasticity [PDF]
, 2014 When organisms encounter environments that are heterogeneous in time, phenotypic plasticity is often favored by selection. The degree of such plasticity can vary during an organism's lifetime, but the factors promoting differential plastic responses at ...

The genetics of phenotypic plasticity. XVII. Response to climate change
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 The world is changing at a rapid rate, threatening extinction for a large part of the world's biota. One potential response to those altered conditions is to evolve so as to be able to persist in place. Such evolution includes not just traits themselves,

Histone methylation regulates reproductive diapause in Drosophila melanogaster.
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Fluctuating environments threaten fertility and viability. To better match the immediate, local environment, many organisms adopt alternative phenotypic states, a phenomenon called "phenotypic plasticity." Natural populations that predictably encounter ...

Phenotypic Plasticity and the Invasiveness of Three _Taraxacum_ Species [PDF]
, 2009 *Background/Question/Methods* Many factors have been found to be associated with the success of invasive species. Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a plant genotype to respond to different environmental conditions by producing different ...

Epithelial/mesenchymal plasticity: how have quantitative mathematical models helped improve our understanding? [PDF]
, 2017 Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of cells to reversibly alter their phenotypes in response to signals, presents a significant clinical challenge to treating solid tumors.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Phenotypic plasticity is important for species responses to global change and species coexistence. Phenotypic plasticity differs among species and traits and changes across environments. Here, we investigated phenotypic plasticity of the widespread grass

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Estimating the genetic variation underpinning a trait is crucial to understanding and predicting its evolution. A key statistical tool to estimate this variation is the animal model.

Cellular plasticity facilitates phenotypic change in a dominant coral’s Symbiodiniaceae assemblage
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Coral-associated dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) are photosynthetic endosymbionts that influence coral acclimation, as indicated by photo-endosymbiotic phenotypic variance across different environmental conditions.
