Phenotypic plasticity promotes species coexistence
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022Ecological explanations for species coexistence assume that species' traits, and therefore the differences between species, are fixed on short timescales. However, species' traits are not fixed, but can instead change rapidly as a consequence of phenotypic plasticity.

Phenotypic Plasticity, Costs of Phenotypes, and Costs of Plasticity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Why are some traits constitutive and others inducible? The termcostsoften appears in work addressing this issue but may be ambiguously defined. This review distinguishes two conceptually distinct types of costs: phenotypic costs and plasticity costs.

Phenotypic plasticity is the property of a genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to different environmental conditions (Bradshaw 1965; Mazer and Damuth, this volume, chapter 2). Simply put, students of phenotypic plasticity deal with the way nature (genes) and nurture (environment) interact to yield the anatomy, morphology, and behavior ...

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity of a single genotype to produce a variety of phenotypes under different environmental conditions. The response of a genotype to a particular environmental factor is called its “norm of reaction.” Some norms of reaction reflect unavoidable consequences of adverse situations, like the progressive stunting of fish ...

Costs of Phenotypic Plasticity
The American Naturalist, 2002Phenotypically plastic organisms display alternative phenotypes in different environments. It is widely appreciated that possessing alternative phenotypes can affect fitness. However, some investigators have suggested that simply carrying the ability to be plastic could also affect fitness.

Phenotypic Plasticity and Species Coexistence
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016Ecologists are increasingly interested in predicting how intraspecific variation and changing trait values impact species interactions and community composition. For many traits, much of this variation is caused by phenotypic plasticity, and thus the impact of plasticity on species coexistence deserves robust quantification.

Phenotypic plasticity hypothesis.
2018Abstract The phenotypic plasticity hypothesis - or, in short, plasticity hypothesis - posits that invasive species are more phenotypically plastic than non-invasive or native ones. On the basis of a systematic review, we identified 115 relevant empirical tests of the plasticity hypothesis.

MEASURING NATURAL SELECTION ON PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY
Evolution, 1999To understand natural selection we need to integrate its measure across environments. We present a method for measuring phenotypic selection that combines the potential for both environmental variation and phenotypic plasticity. The method uses path analysis and a measure of selection that is analogous to selection on breeding values.

On Cotransmission & Neurotransmitter Phenotype Plasticity
Molecular Interventions, 2007Most neurons in the nervous system appear to contain and release more than one chemical acting as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Cotransmission can therefore be considered the rule rather than the exception. Indeed, cotransmission of a classical neurotransmitter and a peptide is a ubiquitous phenomenon, but several neuron types can also contain ...
