Genetic accommodation in the wild: evolution of gene expression plasticity during character displacement.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2017

Levis N A, Serrato-Capuchina A, Pfennig D W

Abstract excerpt

Ecological character displacement is considered crucial in promoting diversification, yet relatively little is known of its underlying mechanisms. We examined whether evolutionary shifts in gene expression plasticity ('genetic accommodation') mediate character displacement in spadefoot toads. Where Spea bombifrons and S. multiplicata occur separately in allopatry (the ancestral condition), each produces...
