Regulatory mechanisms link phenotypic plasticity to evolvability
Organisms have a remarkable capacity to respond to environmental change. They can either respond directly, by means of phenotypic plasticity, or they can slowly adapt through evolution. Yet, how phenotypic plasticity links to evolutionary adaptability is largely unknown. Current studies of plasticity tend to adopt a phenomenological reaction norm (RN) approach, which neglects the mechanisms und...

متن کاملEvolvability, Complexity and Scalability of Cellular Evolutionary and Developmental Systems
Man-made systems, such as supercomputers and software, IT-infrastructures and networks of any kind, are continuously growing in size and complexity. As conventional top-down engineering techniques may have reached the limit of applicability, biological organisms have been able to evolve increasing levels of complexity. Such inherent biological complexity may be said to be open ended or unbounde...
متن کاملPlasticity, evolvability, and modularity in RNA.
RNA folding from sequences into secondary structures is a simple yet powerful, biophysically grounded model of a genotype-phenotype map in which concepts like plasticity, evolvability, epistasis, and modularity can not only be precisely defined and statistically measured but also reveal simultaneous and profoundly non-independent effects of natural selection. Molecular plasticity is viewed here...
متن کاملPhylogenetic patterns and phenotypic plasticity of molluscan sexual systems.
Molluscs show a wide diversity of sexual systems and strategies. There are both gastropod and bivalve families that are each primarily dioecious, simultaneous hermaphrodites, or sequential hermaphrodites, and other families in which almost every sexual strategy occurs. The multiple evolutionary transitions of sexual systems within molluscs would allow comparative analyses of the associated ecol...
