An investigation into the role of phenotypic plasticity in evolution.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Feb 1995

Behera N, Nanjundiah V

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity can modify evolutionary pathways and accelerate the course of evolution. This was brought out in a quantitative model by Hinton & Nowlan (1987, Complex Systems 1, 497-502). The present work confirms and extends their results. We consider a population of genetically haploid individuals of fixed size. Genotypes are represented by one-dimensional arrays (strings) of genes. Each gene can be in...
