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

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 experimental evolution [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYNatural or artificial selection that favors higher values of a particular trait within a given population should engender an evolutionary response that increases the mean value of the trait. For this prediction to hold, the phenotypic variance of the trait must be caused in part by additive effects of alleles segregating in the population, and ...

Ecological speciation and phenotypic plasticity affect ecosystems [PDF]
, 2014 Phenotypic differences among closely related populations and species can cause contrasting effects on ecosystems; however, it is unknown whether such effects result from genetic divergence, phenotypic plasticity, or both.

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.

Phytophthora cinnamomi exhibits phenotypic plasticity in response to cold temperatures
, 2020 Phytophthora cinnamomi has recently been found in highly diverse and fragile alpine and sub-alpine environments previously considered P. cinnamomi and disease free due to low temperatures. In the laboratory, we investigated the ability of P.

RNA Directed Modulation of Phenotypic Plasticity in Human Cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Natural selective processes have been known to drive phenotypic plasticity, which is the emergence of different phenotypes from one genome following environmental stimulation.

Phenotypic Plasticity: From Microevolution to Macroevolution [PDF]
, 2014 This chapter starts with a short history of the concept of phenotypic plasticity (from the seventeenth century to present) in order to distinguish two distinct conceptions of plasticity: one more dynamic (or Aristotelian) according to which the notion has been described as a property inherent to life whose very organization depends upon it, and an ...

Developmental phenotypic plasticity in a marsupial [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 SUMMARY Climate change is likely to substantially affect the distribution ranges of species. However, little is known about how different mammalian taxa respond morphologically and physiologically to a rapid change of climate. Our objective was to provide the first quantitative data on the effect of continuous cold exposure during ...
