A history of phenotypic plasticity accelerates adaptation to a new environment.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2011

Fierst J L

Abstract excerpt

Can a history of phenotypic plasticity increase the rate of adaptation to a new environment? Theory suggests it can be through two different mechanisms. Phenotypically plastic organisms can adapt rapidly to new environments through genetic assimilation, or the fluctuating environments that result in phenotypic plasticity can produce evolvable genetic architectures. In this article, I studied a model of a gene...
