Phenotypic stasis with genetic divergence [PDF]
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Whether or not genetic divergence in the short-term of tens to hundreds of generations is compatible with phenotypic stasis remains a relatively unexplored problem.

Incongruence between morphotypes and genetically delimited species in the coral genus
BMC Ecology, 2011 Background Morphological data suggest that, unlike most other groups of marine organisms, scleractinian corals of the genus Stylophora are more diverse in the western Indian Ocean and in the Red Sea than in the central Indo-Pacific.

Phenotypic integration in flowers of neotropical lianas: diversification of form with stasis of underlying patterns [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013 AbstractPhenotypic integration is essential to the understanding of organismal evolution as a whole. In this study, a phylogenetic framework is used to assess phenotypic integration among the floral parts of a group of Neotropical lianas. Flowers consist of plant reproductive organs (carpels and stamens), usually surrounded by attractive whorls (petals

Abstract Most adaptive traits have a polygenic basis, and their evolution in response to environmental change results from the cumulative effect of many underlying loci. Theoretical studies predict two phases of phenotypic evolution: an initial directional phase, characterized by shifts in the mean of the trait ...

Inflammatory macrophages drive smooth muscle dedifferentiation via YAP signaling in murine deep vein thrombosis [PDF]
Cell Communication and SignalingBackground Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common clinical problem characterized by the formation of blood clots in deep veins. The contribution of venous smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to the onset of DVT, particularly the mechanisms driving their ...

Bigger Is Fitter? Quantitative Genetic Decomposition of Selection Reveals an Adaptive Evolutionary Decline of Body Mass in a Wild Rodent Population. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 In natural populations, quantitative trait dynamics often do not appear to follow evolutionary predictions. Despite abundant examples of natural selection acting on heritable traits, conclusive evidence for contemporary adaptive evolution remains rare ...

Direct and indirect induction of a compensatory phenotype that alleviates the costs of an inducible defense. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Organisms often exhibit phenotypic plasticity in multiple traits in response to impending environmental change. Multiple traits phenotypic plasticity is complex syndrome brought on by causal relations in ecological and physiological context.
