Isolating and quantifying the role of developmental noise in generating phenotypic variation.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2019
Genotypic variation, environmental variation, and their interaction may produce variation in the developmental process and cause phenotypic differences among individuals. Developmental noise, which arises during development from stochasticity in cellular

Extending the Genotype in Brachypodium by Including DNA Methylation Reveals a Joint Contribution with Genetics on Adaptive Traits

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Epigenomic changes have been considered a potential missing link underlying phenotypic variation in quantitative traits but is potentially confounded with the underlying DNA sequence variation.

A comparative investigation of nuclear DNA content and its phenotypic impacts in Silene marizii and S. latifolia [PDF]

, 2008
Considerable variation exists both within and between species in nuclear DNA content. Despite there being no obvious functional role for much of this DNA, many studies have reported phenotypic correlations with genome size at various taxonomic levels ...

Tropical Range Extension for the Temperate, Endemic South-Eastern Australian Nudibranch Goniobranchus splendidus (Angas, 1864)

Diversity, 2016
In contrast to many tropical animals expanding southwards on the Australian coast concomitant with climate change, here we report a temperate endemic newly found in the tropics.

Sexually mediated phenotypic variation within and between sexes as a continuum structured by ecology: The mosaic nature of skeletal variation across body regions in Threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological character displacement between the sexes, and sexual selection, integrate into a convergent set of factors that produce sexual variation. Ecologically modulated, sexually mediated variation within and between sexes may be a major contributor ...

A Case of Limitation of Phenotypic Variation [PDF]

Nature, 1958
JINKS1 suggests that where phenotypic variation is caused by a cytoplasmic system, the range of phenotypic expression attainable by the system would have quite definite limits imposed by the system itself (cytoplasmic limits) or, by the non-viability of phenotypes lying outside these limits (physiological limits).

Understanding the evolutionary potential of epigenetic variation: a comparison of heritable phenotypic variation in epiRILs, RILs, and natural ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2018
Increasing evidence for epigenetic variation within and among natural plant populations has led to much speculation about its role in the evolution of plant phenotypes.

Phase variable colony variants are conserved across Gardnerella spp. and exhibit different virulence-associated phenotypes

mSphere
The Gardnerella genus, comprising at least 13 species, is associated with the polymicrobial disorder bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, the details of BV pathogenesis are poorly defined, and the contributions made by individual species, including ...

Phenotypic variation in sexually and asexually recruited individuals of the Baltic Sea endemic macroalga Fucus radicans: in the field and after growth in a common-garden

BMC Ecology, 2012
Background Most species of brown macroalgae recruit exclusively sexually. However, Fucus radicans, a dominant species in the northern Baltic Sea, recruits new attached thalli both sexually and asexually.

Phenotype differentiation of Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum of three regions in Mexico and its relation to climate

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2023
Background: Populations of Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum are found in a wide portion of the Mexican territory, and it is ancestor of many cultivated forms relevant for the Mexican diet.
