Adaptive developmental plasticity: what is it, how can we recognize it and when can it evolve?
Developmental plasticity describes situations where a specific input during an individual's
development produces a lasting alteration in phenotype. Some instances of developmental …

Fundamental dimensions of environmental risk: The impact of harsh versus unpredictable environments on the evolution and development of life history strategies
The current paper synthesizes theory and data from the field of life history (LH) evolution to
advance a new developmental theory of variation in human LH strategies. The theory posits …
