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,

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 ...

Juxtaglomerular Cell Phenotypic Plasticity [PDF]
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2017 Renin is the first and rate-limiting step of the renin-angiotensin system. The exclusive source of renin in the circulation are the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, which line the afferent arterioles at the entrance of the glomeruli. Normally, renin production by these cells suffices to maintain homeostasis.

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.

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

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
