Abstract excerpt
One of the most important aspects of the evolution of development and physiology is the interplay between gene expression and the environment, by which traits become altered in response to environmental triggers. This feature is known as phenotypic plasticity. When different genotypes show different levels of plasticity for a trait, then they show genotype-by-environment interaction, or GEI. It is now clear that...
