Resumo(s)
The environment can modify developmental trajectories and generate
a range of distinct phenotypes without altering an organism’s genome,
a widespread phenomenon called developmental plasticity. The past
decades have seen a resurgent interest in understanding how developmental
plasticity contributes to evolutionary processes, as it can produce
phenotypic variation among individuals and facilitate diversification
among populations that inhabit distinct ecological niches. To better
understand the importance of plastic responses for evolutionary change,
we need to explore how the environment alters development to produce
phenotypic variation and then compare this to how genetic variation
influences these same developmental processes.(...)
