Selection and drift determine phenotypic stasis despite genetic divergence [PDF]
, 2019 1 Abstract Evolutionary theory suggests that phenotypic stasis is explained by natural selection and genetic drift, or by constraints imposed by mutation and recombination of standing genetic variation. We performed experimental evolution from standing genetic variation with the nematode

Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design [PDF]
, 2003 Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent attention has been on developmental plasticity – the environmentally induced ...

Evolutionary patterns and processes in the radiation of phyllostomid bats
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background The phyllostomid bats present the most extensive ecological and phenotypic radiation known among mammal families. This group is an important model system for studies of cranial ecomorphology and functional optimisation because of the ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the evolution of phenotypic diversity. Both natural and sexual selection play a large role in generating phenotypic adaptations, with biomechanical requirements and developmental mechanisms

Coinfection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus in cystic fibrosis
European Respiratory Review, 2020 Objectives Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is characterised by mucus stasis, chronic infection and inflammation, causing progressive structural lung disease and eventual respiratory failure.

Diversity, 2018 The phenotype of organisms is the net result of various evolutionary forces acting upon their lineages over time. When an innovative trait arises that confers a substantial advantage in terms of survival and reproduction, the evolution of adaptive ...

Maladaptive plasticity facilitates evolution of thermal tolerance during an experimental range shift
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Many organisms are responding to climate change with dramatic range shifts, involving plastic and genetic changes to cope with novel climate regimes found at higher latitudes.
