Many biologists are calling for an'extended evolutionary synthesis' that would'modernize the
modern synthesis' of evolution. Biological information is typically considered as being …

Pivotal to projecting the fate of coral reefs is the capacity of reef-building corals to
acclimatize and adapt to climate change. Transgenerational plasticity may enable some …

Current research in basic and applied knowledge of plant science has aimed to unravel the
role of the interaction between environmental factors and the genome in the physiology of …

Background Plastic responses of plants to the environment are ubiquitous. Phenotypic
plasticity occurs in many forms and at many biological scales, and its adaptive value …

The adaptive value of transgenerational effects (the ancestor environmental effects on
offspring) in changing environments has received much attention in recent years, but the …

Variability in the environment defines the structure and dynamics of all living systems, from
organisms to ecosystems. Species have evolved traits and strategies that allow them to …

One of the outstanding challenges for evolutionary biologists is to understand how
developmental plasticity can influence the evolutionary process. Developmental plasticity …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

Plants respond to environmental conditions not only by plastic changes to their own
development and physiology, but also by altering the phenotypes expressed by their …

Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …
