Relaxed genetic constraint is ancestral to the evolution of phenotypic plasticity.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2012

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity--the capacity of a single genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to varying environmental conditions--is widespread. Yet, whether, and how, plasticity impacts evolutionary diversification is unclear. According to a widely discussed hypothesis, plasticity promotes rapid evolution because genes expressed differentially across different environments (i.e., genes with "biased"...
