The other side of phenotypic plasticity: a developmental system that generates an invariant phenotype despite environmental variation.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how the environment impacts development is of central interest in developmental and evolutionary biology. On the one hand, we would like to understand how the environment induces phenotypic changes (the study of phenotypic plasticity). On the other hand, we may ask how a development system maintains a stable and precise phenotypic output despite the presence of environmental variation. We study such...
