Abstract excerpt
The robustness of biological systems against mutational and environmental perturbations is termed canalization. Because reducing phenotypic variability under environmental and genetic perturbations can be adaptive and facilitated by natural selection, it has been suggested that once canalization mechanisms have evolved to buffer the effects of environmental perturbations, they may act to buffer any and all...
