Evaluating 'plasticity-first'evolution in nature: key criteria and empirical approaches
NA Levis, DW Pfennig - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2016 - cell.com
Many biologists are asking whether environmentally initiated phenotypic change
(ie,'phenotypic plasticity') precedes, and even facilitates, evolutionary adaptation. However …

Non-adaptive plasticity potentiates rapid adaptive evolution of gene expression in nature
Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for an individual genotype to produce different
phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Most traits are plastic, but the degree to …
