Hamilton's rule, gradual evolution, and the optimal (feedback) control of phenotypically plastic traits.

Abstract excerpt

Most traits expressed by organisms, such as gene expression profiles, developmental trajectories, behavioural sequences and reaction norms are function-valued traits (colloquially "phenotypically plastic traits"), since they vary across an individual's age and in response to various internal and/or external factors (state variables). Furthermore, most organisms live in populations subject to limited genetic...
