Mechanisms by Which Phenotypic Plasticity Affects Adaptive Divergence and Ecological Speciation.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of one genotype to produce different phenotypes depending on environmental conditions. Several conceptual models emphasize the role of plasticity in promoting reproductive isolation and, ultimately, speciation in populations that forage on two or more resources. These models predict that plasticity plays a critical role in the early stages of speciation, prior to genetic...
