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 ...

Phenotypic plasticity - Introduction
Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a given genotype to express different phenotypes in response to environmental variation. This seemingly simple definition encompasses several challenges for the study of plasticity - how do we define different types of plasticity with less or more long-lasting phenotypic effects?Bogan, Samuel, S, Bojana

Dispersal, individual phenotype, and phenotypic plasticity
2001Abstract We examine the role of phenotypic plasticity (genetically controlled response to the environment) in dispersal decisions from two perspectives. Specifically, we examine the alternatives ‘to stay’ or ‘to go’ from the standpoint of the offspring and the maternal parent.

Phenotypic plasticity in Phlox
Oecologia, 1989Three species of Phlox (Polemoniaceae) were grown in 6 greenhouse treatments. A variety of traits were recorded and the correlations among them were computed for each treatment. The phenotypic correlations between characters are significantly altered when plants are grown under different environmental conditions.
