Low genetic diversity contrasts with high phenotypic variability in heptaploid Spartina densiflora populations invading the Pacific coast of North America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Species can respond to environmental pressures through genetic and epigenetic changes and through phenotypic plasticity, but few studies have evaluated the relationships between genetic differentiation and phenotypic plasticity of plant species along ...

Growing straight versus growing decumbent: soil quality and allometry in Syagrus glaucescens Becc. (Arecaceae), an endemic and threatened palm of the Espinhaço Mountains, Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2015
Syagrus glaucescens is an endemic palm found in the rupestrian grasslands of the Espinhaço Mountains in southeastern Brazil. It is highly associated with quartzitic soils and exhibits strong intra-specific morphological variation in the different areas ...

The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...

Sources of genetic and phenotypic variability [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2003
Abstract The availability of hundreds of genomes allows us to learn rapidly about genomic differences between micro-organisms. Comparative genomics shows that horizontal gene transfer, mutations and rearrangements are frequent events in most species.

Variable phenotype of Pierson syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Nephrology, 2008
Pierson syndrome is caused by mutations in the LAMB2 gene, which encodes the laminin beta2 chain, and is clinically characterized by congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) and bilateral microcoria. Here, we describe two cases of Pierson syndrome involving atypical phenotypes. Patient 1 presented with congenital microcoria and infantile nephrotic syndrome.

Speciation, Phenotypic Variation and Plasticity: What Can Endocrine Disruptors Tell Us?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
Phenotype variability, phenotypic plasticity, and the inheritance of phenotypic traits constitute the fundamental ground of processes such as individuation, individual and species adaptation and ultimately speciation. Even though traditional evolutionary

Morphoagronomic characterization of the sweet pepper germplasm collection (Capsicum spp.) in the Colombian Caribbean

open access: yesTemas Agrarios, 2019
“Topito” sweet pepper is considered one of the main vegetables in the colombian Caribbean region due to tradition and daily consumption in at least six of the seven continental departments of the Atlantic coast.

Disentangling genetic from environmental effects on phenotypic variability of southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) postlarvae

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Environmental conditions experienced during the larval dispersal of marine organisms can determine the size‐at‐settlement of recruits. It is, therefore, not uncommon that larvae undergoing different dispersal histories would exhibit phenotypic ...

Variability in disease phenotypes within a single PRNP genotype suggests the existence of multiple natural sheep scarpie strains within Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Variability of pathological phenotypes within classical sheep scrapie cases has been reported for some time, but in many instances it has been attributed to differences in the PRNP genotype of the host.

PHENOTYPIC VARIABILITY OF ALFALFA BREEDING POPULATION [PDF]

open access: yesPoljoprivreda, 2010
The objectives of this research were to assess the variability of 10 phenotypic traits within and among of 21 alfalfa breeding populations, and to select the most promising populations regarding high values of important agronomic traits in order to ...
