The biology hidden inside residual within-individual phenotypic variation.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Aug 2015

Westneat David F, Wright Jonathan, Dingemanse Niels J

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypes vary hierarchically among taxa and populations, among genotypes within populations, among individuals within genotypes, and also within individuals for repeatedly expressed, labile phenotypic traits. This hierarchy produces some fundamental challenges to clearly defining biological phenomena and constructing a consistent explanatory framework. We use a heuristic statistical model to explore two...
