Sensory trait variation in an echolocating bat suggests roles for both selection and plasticity.

BMC evolutionary biology - 27 Mar 2014

Odendaal Lizelle J, Jacobs David S, Bishop Jacqueline M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Across heterogeneous environments selection and gene flow interact to influence the rate and extent of adaptive trait evolution. This complex relationship is further influenced by the rarely considered role of phenotypic plasticity in the evolution of adaptive population variation. Plasticity can be adaptive if it promotes colonization and survival in novel environments and in doing so may increase...
