The flexible stem hypothesis: evidence from genetic data.

Development genes and evolution - 1 Sept 2017

Gibert Jean-Michel

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a given genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to distinct environmental conditions, is widely observed in the wild. It is believed to facilitate evolution and, under the "flexible stem hypothesis", it is thought that an ancestral plastic species can be at the origin of sister lineages with divergent phenotypes fixed by genetic assimilation of alternative...
