Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity's impacts on diversification and speciation
David W. Pfennig,Matthew A. Wund,Emilie C. Snell-Rood,Tami Cruickshank,Carl D. Schlichting,Armin P. Moczek +5 more
TL;DR: Recent theory on how plasticity promotes: (i) the origin of novel phenotypes, (ii) divergence among populations and species, (iii) the formation of new species and (iv) adaptive radiation is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions.
Kevin N. Laland,Tobias Uller,Tobias Uller,Marcus W. Feldman,Kim Sterelny,Kim Sterelny,Gerd B. Müller,Armin P. Moczek,Eva Jablonka,John Odling-Smee +9 more
TL;DR: The structure, core assumptions and novel predictions of the extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) are spelled out, and it is shown how it can be deployed to stimulate and advance research in those fields that study or use evolutionary biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does evolutionary theory need a rethink
Kevin N. Laland,Tobias Uller,Marc Feldman,Kim Sterelny,Gerd B. Müller,Armin P. Moczek,Eva Jablonka,John Odling-Smee,Gregory A. Wray,Hopi E. Hoekstra,Douglas J. Futuyma,Richard E. Lenski,Trudy F. C. Mackay,Dolph Schluter,Joan E. Strassmann +14 more
TL;DR: This synthesis maintains that important drivers of evolution, ones that cannot be reduced to genes, must be woven into the very fabric of evolutionary theory, and believes that the EES will shed new light on how Point Yes, urgently is shed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of developmental plasticity in evolutionary innovation
Armin P. Moczek,Sonia E. Sultan,Susan A. Foster,Ian Dworkin,H. Fred Nijhout,Ehab Abouheif,David W. Pfennig +6 more
TL;DR: Three distinct ways by which developmental plasticity can promote evolutionary innovation are examined, showing how the process of genetic accommodation provides a feasible and possibly common avenue by which environmentally induced phenotypes can become subject to heritable modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male horn dimorphism in the scarab beetle, Onthophagus taurus: do alternative reproductive tactics favour alternative phenotypes?
TL;DR: Combined, the two alternative reproductive tactics used by male O. taurus appear to favour opposite horn phenotypes, which may explain the paucity of intermediate morphologies in natural populations of O. Taurus.
