Polyphenism of a Novel Trait Integrated Rapidly Evolving Genes into Ancestrally Plastic Networks.

Abstract excerpt

Developmental polyphenism, the ability to switch between phenotypes in response to environmental variation, involves the alternating activation of environmentally sensitive genes. Consequently, to understand how a polyphenic response evolves requires a comparative analysis of the components that make up environmentally sensitive networks. Here, we inferred coexpression networks for a morphological polyphenism,...
