The evolution of phenotypic plasticity: genealogy of a debate in genetics.

Studies in history and philosophy of biological and biomedical sciences - 1 Apr 2015

Nicoglou Antonine

Abstract excerpt

The paper describes the context and the origin of a particular debate that concerns the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. In 1965, British biologist A. D. Bradshaw proposed a widely cited model intended to explain the evolution of norms of reaction, based on his studies of plant populations. Bradshaw's model went beyond the notion of the "adaptive norm of reaction" discussed before him by Dobzhansky and...
