The consequences of phenotypic plasticity for ecological speciation.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2011

Thibert-Plante X, Hendry A P

Abstract excerpt

We use an individual-based numerical simulation to study the effects of phenotypic plasticity on ecological speciation. We find that adaptive plasticity evolves readily in the presence of dispersal between populations from different ecological environments. This plasticity promotes the colonization of new environments but reduces genetic divergence between them. We also find that the evolution of plasticity can...
