Evolutionary trade-offs and adaptive phenotypic plasticity under multidimensional selective pressure
… an internal source of complexity, constraining adaptive responses by imposing trade-offs between beneficial traits. This is of particular consequence in natural environments, where selective pressure almost always acts on multiple traits simultaneously. Meanwhile, we must also consider …

Phenotypic Plasticity of Native and Invasive Cool-Season Grasses in Response to Frequency of Moisture Availability
<p>Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of an individual to alter its growth in response to environmental conditions, is an attribute that is considered a likely invader attribute, as it provides the opportunity to expand its ecological niche breadth. Adaptive phenotypic plasticity can affect not …

Multiscale materials design of natural exoskeletons : fish armor
… functionality of each system in conjunction with adaptive phenotypic plasticity of the tooth and scale microstructure and geometry, "adaptive stalemates," and the so-called evolutionary "arms race." The second model system, Gasterosteus aculeatus, is well-known for light-weight and morphologically …
