Adaptive phenotypic plasticity of mandibles with respect to host plants
Polyphagous butterflies, i.e., those that feed on multiple host plants, need to evolve adaptations against the defenses of many plants. Studies have...

DNA methylome analysis provides insights into gene regulatory mechanism for better performance of rice under fluctuating environmental conditions: epigenomics of adaptive plasticity
Main conclusionRoots play an important role in adaptive plasticity of rice under dry/direct-sown conditions. However, hypomethylation of genes in...

Positive spatial autocorrelation in three habitat quality indicators sets the stage for evolution of adaptive dispersal plasticity in a coral reef fish
Dispersal, the movement of individuals away from their natal location to another location, is a basic driver of ecological and evolutionary...

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity is under stabilizing selection in Daphnia
The adaptive nature of phenotypic plasticity is widely documented. However, little is known about the evolutionary forces that shape genetic...

Preadapted to adapt: underpinnings of adaptive plasticity revealed by the downy brome genome
Bromus tectorum L. is arguably the most successful invasive weed in the world. It has fundamentally altered arid ecosystems of the western United...

Development and selective grain make plasticity 'take the lead' in adaptive evolution
BackgroundBiological evolution exhibits an extraordinary capability to adapt organisms to their environments. The explanation for this often takes...
-
Genome of the estuarine oyster provides insights into climate impact and adaptive plasticity
Understanding the roles of genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity in adaptation is central to evolutionary biology and important for assessing...

An energetic approach to the evolution of growth curve plasticity
Growth in individual body size amongst different species can to a greater or lesser extent depend on environmental factors such as resource...

Plasticity and Information
In this chapter, I discuss developmental plasticity in relation to the concept of reaction norms. Standard treatments of reaction norms have been...

Transgenerational Phenotypic Plasticity in Fishes
Phenotypic plasticity, which is sometimes referred to as an environmental driven phenotypic variation, is the capacity of a genotype to create a...

Genetic assimilation of ancestral plasticity during parallel adaptation to zinc contamination in Silene uniflora
Phenotypic plasticity in ancestral populations is hypothesized to facilitate adaptation, but evidence is piecemeal and often contradictory. Further,...

Understanding and leveraging phenotypic plasticity during metastasis formation
Cancer metastasis is the process of detrimental systemic spread and the primary cause of cancer-related fatalities. Successful metastasis formation...

Adaptive potential of maritime pine under contrasting environments
BackgroundPredicting the adaptability of forest tree populations under future climates requires a better knowledge of both the adaptive significance...

Computational modelling of plasticity-led evolution
Plasticity-led evolution is a form of evolution where a change in the environment induces novel traits via phenotypic plasticity, after which the...

Increased adaptive phenotypic plasticity in the introduced range in alien weeds under drought and flooding
Phenotypic plasticity is an essential mechanism by which plants respond to changes in their environment, but our understanding of the evolution of...

Genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity in the seasonal shoot growth pattern of Pinus pseudostrobus
Global warming has increased the stress conditions faced by natural populations of forest species. Genetic variation (GV) and phenotypic plasticity...

A condition-dependent male sexual signal predicts adaptive predator-induced plasticity in offspring
AbstractThe possibility that sexual selection promotes adaptive evolution in variable environments remains controversial. In particular, where the...

Individual differences in frontoparietal plasticity in humans
Neuroplasticity, defined as the brain’s potential to change in response to its environment, has been extensively studied at the cellular and...

Modeling stress-induced responses: plasticity in continuous state space and gradual clonal evolution
Mathematical models of cancer and bacterial evolution have generally stemmed from a gene-centric framework, assuming clonal evolution via acquisition...
