Phenotypic plasticity and developmental innovations in nematodes.

Abstract excerpt

Developmental plasticity has been implicated as a facilitator for phenotypic diversification, but the molecular mechanisms controlling it are largely unknown. We review recent comparative analyses in non-Caenorhabditis nematodes that display polyphenisms in larval development, mouth morphology and reproductive mode. Some of the challenges ahead will be to connect how these phenotypic traits are linked to each...
