The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by
developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between …

New Findings• What is the topic of this review? Have recent experimental findings in
evolutionary biology concerning the transmission of inheritance opened the way to a …

As is the case with any metaphor, parental effects mean different things to different biologists—
from developmental induction of novel phenotypic variation to an evolved adaptation, and …

▪ Abstract Evolutionary physiology represents an explicit fusion of two complementary
approaches: evolution and physiology. Stimulated by four major intellectual and …

A new voice in the nature-nurture debate can be heard at the interface between evolution
and development. Phenotypic integration--or, how large numbers of characteristics are …

Interest in relationships between behaviour and development has been spurred by research
on related topics, including phenotypic plasticity, parental effects, extragenetic inheritance …

Phenotypic Evolution explicitly recognizes organisms as complex genetic-epigenetic
systems developing in response to changing internal and external environments. As a key to …

For at least a century biologists have been talking, mostly in a black‐box sense, about
developmental mechanisms. Only recently have biologists succeeded broadly in fishing out …

Phenotypic differences among individuals can arise during any stage of life. Although
several distinct processes underlying individual differences have been defined and studied …

The plastic response of phenotypic traits to environmental change is a common research
focus in several disciplines‐from ecology and evolutionary biology to physiology and …
