The Heritability of Mating Behaviour in a Fly and Its Plasticity in Response to the Threat of Sperm Competition [PDF]

, 2014
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.

Effectiveness of Polyphenols on Perinatal Brain Damage: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies

Foods, 2023
Polyphenol supplementation during early life has been associated with a reduction of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in diseases caused by oxygen deprivation, including cerebral palsy, hydrocephaly, blindness, and deafness. Evidence has shown that

The evolution of neurosensation provides opportunities and constraints for phenotypic plasticity

Scientific Reports, 2022
Phenotypic plasticity is widely regarded as important for enabling species resilience to environmental change and for species evolution. However, insight into the complex mechanisms by which phenotypic plasticity evolves in nature is limited by our ...

The genetics of phenotypic plasticity in nematode feeding structures [PDF]

Open Biology, 2017
Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an ecological and evolutionary concept. Ecologically, it can help study how genes and the environment interact to produce robust phenotypes.

Testing for Phenotypic Plasticity

Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2021
Phenotypic plasticity, or an organism’s capacity to change its phenotype in response to environmental variation, is a pervasive—perhaps even ubiquitous—feature of the biological world.

Saturated Fatty Acid-Enriched Diet-Impaired Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in Liver From Undernourished Rats During Critical Periods of Development

Cells, 2019
The nutritional transition that the western population has undergone is increasingly associated with chronic metabolic diseases. In this work, we evaluated a diet rich in saturated fatty acids (hyperlipidic, HL) after weaning of the offspring rats ...

Sensory trait variation in an echolocating bat suggests roles for both selection and plasticity [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Across heterogeneous environments selection and gene flow interact to influence the rate and extent of adaptive trait evolution. This complex relationship is further influenced by the rarely considered role of phenotypic plasticity in the ...

Phenotypic plasticity opposes species invasions by altering fitness surface. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2006
Understanding species invasion is a central problem in ecology because invasions of exotic species severely impact ecosystems, and because invasions underlie fundamental ecological processes.

Digest: Plants adapt under attack: genotypic selection and phenotypic plasticity under herbivore pressure [PDF]

, 2018
Plant species adapt to changing environmental conditions through phenotypic plasticity and natural selection. Agrawal et al. (2018) found that dandelions responded to the presence of insect pests by producing higher levels of defensive compounds.

Phenotypic plasticity promotes species coexistence.

, 2022
Ecological explanations for species coexistence assume that species' traits, and therefore the differences between species, are fixed on short timescales.
