Can a Network Approach Resolve How Adaptive vs Nonadaptive Plasticity Impacts Evolutionary Trajectories?

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical and empirical work has described a range of scenarios in which plasticity may shape adaptation to a novel environment. For example, recent studies have implicated a role for both adaptive and non-adaptive plasticity in facilitating adaptive evolution, yet we lack a broad mechanistic framework to predict under what conditions each scenario is likely to dominate evolutionary processes. We propose that...
