Phenotypic plasticity is the range and process of variation in body plan and physiology. This
book pulls together recent theoretical advances in phenotypic plasticity, as influenced by …

Phenotypic plasticity–the ability of an individual organism to alter its features in direct
response to a change in its environment–is ubiquitous. Understanding how and why this …

The most obvious ecological difference between animals and plants is that most animals
move through space in response to changing conditions whereas plants do not. The …

For more than two decades the concept of phenotypic plasticity has allowed researchers to
go beyond the nature-nurture dichotomy to gain deeper insights into how organisms are …

Mathematical models have long played a critical role in evolutionary biology. Models allow
us to systematically characterize complex interactions and to explore the consequences of …

Phenotypic plasticity is defined as the property of organisms to produce distinct phenotypes
in response to environmental variation. While for more than a century, biologists have …

A research agenda for the next phase of plasticity studies calls for contributions from a
diverse group of biologists, working both independently and collaboratively, to pursue four …

Phenotypic plasticity—the ability of an individual organism to change its phenotype in direct
response to variation in its environment—has long fascinated and perplexed biologists …

Phenotypic plasticity is a ubiquitous attribute of organisms (West-Eberhard 2003), and
adaptive plasticity in behavior provides some of the most striking examples of how animals …

This book presents a view of the way in which phenotypes of animals, plants and lower
organisms evolve, bearing in mind that they are the result of complex interactions between …
