Phenotypic Plasticity in Vertebrate Dentitions [PDF]

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2020
SynopsisVertebrates interact directly with food items through their dentition, and these interactions with trophic resources could often feedback to influence tooth structure. Although dentitions are often considered to be a fixed phenotype, there is the potential for environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity in teeth to extensively influence their

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,

Phenotypic Plasticity in Arabidopsis thaliana Is Fitness‐Neutral, and Costs Are Lacking Across Experimental Environments [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Phenotypic plasticity produces multiple phenotypes depending on the environment, and its evolutionary trajectory is determined by the fitness consequences of those phenotypes.

New Method for Quantification of Phenotypic Plasticity Reveals How Plasticity Changes Over Time in the Diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Quantifying phenotypic plasticity, the capacity of organisms to adjust phenotypes in response to environmental changes, is essential for understanding ecological and physiological resilience under climate stress.

Nitric Oxide as a Central Molecule in Hypertension: Focus on the Vasorelaxant Activity of New Nitric Oxide Donors

Biology, 2021
Cardiovascular diseases include all types of disorders related to the heart or blood vessels. High blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiac complications and pathological disorders.

Cardiometabolic Effects of Postnatal High-Fat Diet Consumption in Offspring Exposed to Maternal Protein Restriction In Utero

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In recent decades, the high incidence of infectious and parasitic diseases has been replaced by a high prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases. Concomitantly, there have been profound changes in the behavior and eating habits of families around ...

Involvement of shedding induced by ADAM17 on the nitric oxide pathway in hypertension

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), also called tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-ɑ) convertase (TACE), is a well-known protease involved in the sheddase of growth factors, chemokines and cytokines.

Constraints on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity: limits and costs of phenotype and plasticity [PDF]

Heredity, 2015
Phenotypic plasticity is ubiquitous and generally regarded as a key mechanism for enabling organisms to survive in the face of environmental change. Because no organism is infinitely or ideally plastic, theory suggests that there must be limits (for example, the lack of ability to produce an optimal trait) to the evolution of phenotypic plasticity, or ...

Evolution of generalists by phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

iScience, 2019
Abstract Adapting organisms face a tension between specializing their phenotypes for certain ecological tasks or developing generalist strategies which permit persistence in multiple environmental conditions.

Differences in Phenotypic Plasticity between Invasive and Native Plants Responding to Three Environmental Factors

Life, 2022
The phenotypic plasticity hypothesis suggests that exotic plants may have greater phenotypic plasticity than native plants. However, whether phenotypic changes vary according to different environmental factors has not been well studied.
