Beyond buying time: the role of plasticity in phenotypic adaptation to rapid environmental change
How populations and species respond to modified environmental conditions is critical to
their persistence both now and into the future, particularly given the increasing pace of …

Selection on adaptive and maladaptive gene expression plasticity during thermal adaptation to urban heat islands
Phenotypic plasticity enables a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in response
to environmental variation. Plasticity may play a critical role in the colonization of novel …

An approximate full-likelihood method for inferring selection and allele frequency trajectories from DNA sequence data
Most current methods for detecting natural selection from DNA sequence data are limited in
that they are either based on summary statistics or a composite likelihood, and as a …

Plastic responses to novel environments are biased towards phenotype dimensions with high additive genetic variation
Environmentally induced phenotypes have been proposed to initiate and bias adaptive
evolutionary change toward particular directions. The potential for this to happen depends in …

Mechanisms of protein evolution
How do proteins evolve? How do changes in sequence mediate changes in protein
structure, and in turn in function? This question has multiple angles, ranging from …

[PDF][PDF] Buying time: Plasticity and population persistence
As the environment changes, populations can respond by adapting via evolutionary change.
If the rate or magnitude of environmental change is too great for evolution to keep pace, then …
