Phenotypic plasticity's impacts on diversification and speciation
Phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to variation in the environment) is commonplace. Yet its evolutionary significance …

Phenotypes in phylogeography: Species' traits, environmental variation, and vertebrate diversification
Almost 30 y ago, the field of intraspecific phylogeography laid the foundation for spatially
explicit and genealogically informed studies of population divergence. With new methods …

[LIVRE][B] Mechanisms of life history evolution: the genetics and physiology of life history traits and trade-offs
Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by
analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction …

Colour polymorphism and correlated characters: genetic mechanisms and evolution
Colour polymorphisms (CP's) continue to be of interest to evolutionary biologists because of
their general tractability, importance in studies of selection and potential role in speciation …

The genetic basis of adaptation following plastic changes in coloration in a novel environment
Phenotypic plasticity has been hypothesized to precede and facilitate adaptation to novel
environments [1–8], but examples of plasticity preceding adaptation in wild populations are …

Accelerated speciation in colour-polymorphic birds
AF Hugall, D Stuart-Fox - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Colour polymorphism exemplifies extreme morphological diversity within populations,. It is
taxonomically widespread but generally rare. Theory suggests that where colour …

Geographic variation in animal colour polymorphisms and its role in speciation
Polymorphic species, in which multiple variants coexist within a population, are often used
as model systems in evolutionary biology. Recent research has been dominated by the …

The persistence of polymorphisms across species radiations
Studies on polymorphisms have been foundational to our understanding of evolution. The
presence of different phenotypic morphs is sometimes considered a precursor to speciation …

Genes as leaders and followers in evolution
A major question for the study of phenotypic evolution is whether intra-and interspecific
diversity originates directly from genetic variation, or instead, as plastic responses to …

Climate change, thermal niches, extinction risk and maternal‐effect rescue of toad‐headed lizards, Phrynocephalus, in thermal extremes of the Arabian Peninsula to …
Determining the susceptibility of species to changing thermal niches is a major goal for
biologists. In this paper we develop an eco‐physiological model of extinction risk under …
