Phenotypic Plasticity and the Invasiveness of Three _Taraxacum_ Species [PDF]
, 2009 *Background/Question/Methods* Many factors have been found to be associated with the success of invasive species. Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a plant genotype to respond to different environmental conditions by producing different ...

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

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.

Direct and indirect selection on flowering time, water-use efficiency (WUE, δ (13)C), and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2014 Flowering time and water-use efficiency (WUE) are two ecological traits that are important for plant drought response. To understand the evolutionary significance of natural genetic variation in flowering time, WUE, and WUE plasticity to drought in ...

Reduced phenotypic plasticity evolves in less predictable environments
bioRxiv, 2020 Phenotypic plasticity is a prominent mechanism for coping with variable environments, and a key determinant of extinction risk. Evolutionary theory predicts that phenotypic plasticity should evolve to lower levels in environments that fluctuate less ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Phenotypic plasticity, or adaptability, of a cell determines its ability to survive and function within changing cellular environments. Changes in the mechanical environment, ranging from stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to physical stress ...

Local adaptation with high gene flow: temperature parameters drive adaptation to altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria) [PDF]
, 2014 Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to understanding the effect of environmental variation on populations.

Increased phenotypic plasticity to climate may have boosted the invasion success of polyploid Centaurea stoebe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Phenotypic plasticity may allow organisms to cope with altered environmental conditions as e.g. after the introduction into a new range. In particular polyploid organisms, containing more than two sets of chromosomes, may show high levels of plasticity ...

Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...
