CONTRASTING POSITIONS. "It has been argued that increased plasticity enables the appearance of new phenotypes and thus promotes diversification, population divergence and speciation. Conversely, it has also been put forward that plasticity can prevent diversification." https://lnkd.in/dN4mKjm View in LinkedIn

ACUTE ADAPTATIONS. "Phenotypic plasticity — i.e., the ability of an organism to produce different phenotypes in response to its environment — offers the possibility for organisms to adapt to varying environments in real time." https://lnkd.in/dN4mKjm View in LinkedIn

"NATURAL SELECTION shapes the evolution of populations, communities and ecosystems by acting on phenotypes. It is through the elimination of poorly adapted traits that populations change, diversify, specialize or become extinct." https://lnkd.in/dN4mKjm View in LinkedIn

MODIFIED TRAITS. "We show that the experimental evolution of improved hermaphrodite self-fertility occurred through complex modification of a suite of developmental and reproductive traits: increased sperm production, accelerated oogenesis and ovulation rates, and increased embryo retention in utero." https://lnkd.in/gdtTpDJ View in LinkedIn

UNREDUCED GAMETES. "This phenomenon is important and widespread across numerous eukaryotic taxa, including yeasts, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Unreduced gametes with somatic chromosome numbers represent a special germplasm in facilitating speciation and the production of new polyploid species." https://lnkd.in/eWhHmsj View in LinkedIn

NEUROSPORA FEMALE-FEMALE COMPETITION. "The concept that female–female competition drives rapid evolution of female-biased implies some degree of overlap between unmated female tissues studied herein and those exposed to conidia." https://lnkd.in/eUbE-is View in LinkedIn

CURIOUS CASE. "Sexual organisms produce haploid gametes derived from meiosis. Fertilization of the egg by the sperm restores the chromosome number to that of the somatic cells. However, certain factors can lead to the formation of unreduced gametes, in which the genetic material is identical to that of somatic cells, in some cases specifically in females." https://lnkd.in/eWhHmsj View in LinkedIn
