Evolution of evolvability and phenotypic plasticity in virtual cells.

BMC evolutionary biology - 28 Feb 2017

Cuypers Thomas D, Rutten Jacob P, Hogeweg Paulien

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Changing environmental conditions pose a challenge for the survival of species. To meet this challenge organisms adapt their phenotype by physiological regulation (phenotypic plasticity) or by evolving. Regulatory mechanisms that ensure a constant internal environment in the face of continuous external fluctuations (homeostasis) are ubiquitous and essential for survival. However, more drastic and...
