| 一般注記 | Phenotypic plasticity - the ability of an individual organism to alter its features in direct response to a change in its environment - is ubiquitous. Understanding how and why this phenomenon exists is crucial because it unites all levels of biological inquiry. This book brings together researchers who approach plasticity from diverse perspectives to explore new ideas and recent findings about the causes and consequences of plasticity. Contributors also discuss such controversial topics as how plasticity shapes ecological and evolutionary processes; whether specific plastic responses can be passed to offspring; and whether plasticity has left an important imprint on the history of life. Importantly, each chapter highlights key questions for future research. Drawing on numerous studies of plasticity in natural populations of plants and animals, this book aims to foster greater appreciation for this important, but frequently misunderstood phenomenon. Key Features Written in an accessible style with numerous illustrations, including many in color Reviews the history of the study of plasticity, including Darwin's views Most chapters conclude with recommendations for future research David W. Pfennigis a professor of biology at the University of North Carolina,Chapel Hill and a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer. He is broadly interested in evolutionary biology,ecology, behavior, and developmental biology and is author (withKarin Pfennig) ofEvolution's Wedge: Competition and the Origins of Diversity.His work has been featured on TheNational Geographic Channel, on the BBC/PBS'sNatureseries, and inThe New York Times,Newsweek,National Geographic,Scientific American,New Scientist, andDiscover, among other publications Open Access Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 28, 2021) |
