Plasticity in the timing of physiological development: physiological heterokairy--what is it, how frequent is it, and does it matter?

Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part A, Molecular & integrative physiology - 1 Dec 2007

Spicer John I, Rundle Simon D

Abstract excerpt

The study of developmental sequences of physiological traits could be an important way of placing comparative developmental physiology (CDP) within the research agenda being forged by work on developmental plasticity. Here we focus on the concept of heterokairy defined by Spicer & Burggren in 2003 as changes in the timing of physiological development in an individual. The role of this concept in the future of the...
