Alternative strategies: the evolution of switch points.

Current biology : CB - 26 Apr 2011

Roff Derek A

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of conditional, alternative strategies is a major factor in adaptation. In animals, the frequency of alternative morphs, characterized by different morphologies and mating tactics, can be both condition-dependent and subject to rapid evolutionary change.
