Environmental induction and phenotypic retention of adaptive maternal effects.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Jan 2008

Badyaev Alexander V, Oh Kevin P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The origin of complex adaptations is one of the most controversial questions in biology. Environmental induction of novel phenotypes, where phenotypic retention of adaptive developmental variation is enabled by organismal complexity and homeostasis, can be a starting point in the evolution of some adaptations, but empirical examples are rare. Comparisons of populations that differ in historical...
