Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between
individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent …

Phenotypic development is the result of a complex interplay involving the organism's own
genetic make-up and the environment it experiences during development. The latter …

The development of multicellular organisms involves a delicate interplay between genetic
and environmental influences. It is often useful to think of developmental systems as …

This book deals with evolution at the level of the whole organism, and attempts to forge a
linking framework between molecular studies, ecology and evolution. It stresses the way in …

Theoretical analyses have demonstrated a potential role for epistasis in many of the most
important processes in evolution. These analyses generally assume that an individual's …

Competition among individuals is central to our understanding of ecology and population
dynamics. However, it could also have major implications for the evolution of resource …

Ecological development or 'eco-devo'examines the mechanisms of developmental
regulation in real-world environments, providing an integrated approach for investigating …

For most organisms, early life‐history stages are the most sensitive to environmental stress
and so transgenerational phenotypic plasticity, whereby the parental environment and …

The struggle for existence occurs through the vital rates of population growth. This basic fact
demonstrates the tight connection between ecology and evolution that defines the emerging …
