Natural Variation Reveals Functional and Genetic Integration of a Polyphenism.

Integrative and comparative biology - 12 Jan 2026

Nicholson Rose M, Levis Nicholas A, Allison Marc R, Geis Elizabeth A, Ragsdale Erik J

Abstract excerpt

Integration and modularity can have a profound impact on the function and evolution of environmentally responsive traits, especially when they result in discrete, alternative forms-that is, developmental polyphenism. An unresolved issue for understanding this impact is the degree to which the genetic architectures of the individual components of a plastic trait permit independent versus coordinated evolution. The...
