A new phenotypic variant may appear first in organisms through plasticity, that is, as a response to an environmental signal or other nongenetic perturbation. If such trait is beneficial, selection may increase the frequency of alleles that...

Ladybird homeobox (Lbx) transcription factors have crucial functions in muscle and nervous system development in many animals. Amniotes have two Lbx genes, but only Lbx1 is expressed in spinal cord. In contrast, teleosts have three lbx gene...

The capacity to respond to environmental challenges ultimately relies on phenotypic variation which manifests from complex interactions of genetic and nongenetic mechanisms through development. While we know something about genetic variatio...
Disentangling the correlated evolution of body size, life history, and ontogeny in miniaturized chelydroid turtles [0.03%]

Organismal miniaturization is defined by a reduction in body size relative to a large ancestor. In vertebrate animals, miniaturization is achieved by suppressing the energetics of growth. However, this might interfere with reproductive stra...
Evolvability under climate change: Bone development and shape plasticity are heritable and correspond with performance in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) [0.03%]
气候变化下的可演化性：骨骼发育和形状的可塑性是可以通过遗传的，并且与北极白点斑鱼（Salvelinus alpinus）的表现相对应

Environmental conditions can impact the development of phenotypes and in turn the performance of individuals. Climate change, therefore, provides a pressing need to extend our understanding of how temperature will influence phenotypic varia...

Humans are changing and challenging nature in many ways. Conservation Biology seeks to limit human impacts on nature and preserve biological diversity. Traditionally, Developmental Biology and Conservation Biology have had nonoverlapping ob...
A fundamental developmental transition in Physcomitrium patens is regulated by evolutionarily conserved mechanisms [0.03%]

One of the most defining moments in history was the colonization of land by plants approximately 470 million years ago. The transition from water to land was accompanied by significant changes in the plant body plan, from those than resembl...
All type II classic MADS-box genes in the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii are broadly yet discretely expressed in vegetative and reproductive tissues [0.03%]

The MADS-box genes constitute a large transcription factor family that appear to have evolved by duplication and diversification of function. Two types of MADS-box genes are distinguished throughout eukaryotes, types I and II. Type II class...

The survival prospects of threatened species or populations can sometimes be improved by adaptive change. Such evolutionary rescue is particularly relevant when the threat comes from changing environments, or when long-term population persi...
