Genetic and environmental effects on morphological traits of social phenotypes in wasps
SE Orr, NA Hedrick, KA Murray, AK Pasupuleti… - Heredity, 2024 - nature.com
Many species exhibit distinct phenotypic classes, such as sexes in dioecious species or
castes in social species. The evolution of these classes is affected by the genetic …

Sensory perception of rivals has trait-dependent effects on plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster
The social environment has myriad effects on individuals, altering reproduction, immune
function, cognition, and aging. Phenotypic plasticity enables animals to respond to …

[HTML][HTML] Larval growth rate is not a major determinant of adult wing shape and eyespot size in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly Melanitis leda
Background Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues
during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment …

Genetic Variants Underlying Plasticity in Natural Populations of Spadefoot Toads: Environmental Assessment versus Phenotypic Response
Many organisms facultatively produce different phenotypes depending on their environment,
yet relatively little is known about the genetic bases of such plasticity in natural populations …

Socially plastic responses in females are robust to evolutionary manipulations of adult sex ratio and adult nutrition
Socially plastic behaviours are widespread among animals and can have a significant
impact on fitness. Here, we investigated whether the socially plastic responses of female …

Intragenomic conflict underlies extreme phenotypic plasticity in queen-worker caste determination in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Caste determination of honey bees (Apis mellifera) is a prime example of developmental
plasticity, where differences in larval diet will result in identical genotypes yielding either …
