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 …

Phenotypic plasticity, the property by which living organisms express different phenotypes
depending on environmental conditions, can impact their response to environmental …

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 …

Seasonal plasticity is accomplished via tightly regulated developmental cascades that
translate environmental cues into trait changes. Little is known about how alternative …

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 …

The environment experienced by developing organisms can shape the timing and character
of developmental processes, generating different phenotypes from the same genotype, each …

Polyphenism is a type of developmental plasticity that translates continuous environmental
variability into discontinuous phenotypes. Such discontinuity likely requires a switch …

Stress is ubiquitous and thus, not surprisingly, many hypotheses and models have been
created to better study the role stress plays in life. Stress spans fields and is found in the …

Continuous color polymorphisms can serve as a tractable model for the genetic and
developmental architecture of traits. Here we investigated continuous color variation in …

Genomic reaction norms represent the range of gene expression phenotypes (usually
mRNA transcript levels) expressed by a genotype along an environmental gradient …
