Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “Threshold traits frequently operate during development, and alternative pathways may change abruptly, e.g. at a particular body size, producing different phenotypes on either side of the threshold (Emlen and Nijhout 2000, Nijhout 2003, Lee 2005).”
The effects of environmental variation on a mechanism that controls insect body size (2004, background): “Recent advances in developmental genetics has shown that each of the discrete phenotypes of polyphenisms involve an alternative pattern of gene expression (Evans and Wheeler, 2000, 2001; Nijhout, 2003a).”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, neutral): “…are crucially involved in the expression of developmental plasticity in most species, integrating and “interpreting” environmental variation and adaptively shaping the development of the whole organism (Dufty et al., 2002; Kaplan and Gangestad, 2005; Nijhout, 2003; Ricklefs and Wikelski, 2002).”
Promising directions in plant phenotypic plasticity (2004, background): “Based on a growing body of sophisticated information about regulatory systems, developmental biologists are moving beyond an initial focus on DNA sequences as deterministic blueprints, to understand organisms as developmental systems that continually integrate internal and external signals to modula”
Early growth conditions, phenotypic development and environmental change (2008, background): “…different colour forms under different environmental temperatures and photoperiods that Linnaeus originally classified them as different species; it is now known that this is due to environmentally induced changes in the pattern of secretion of the hormone ecdysone (Nijhout 2003; Gilbert 2005).”
Development of shy/bold behaviour in squid: context-specific phenotypes associated with developmental plasticity (2008, background): “age-specific gene transcription and endocrine dynamics) environmental factors change (Nijhout 2003).”
Thermal Plasticity in Insects’ Response to Climate Change and to Multifactorial Environments (2020, background): “Seasonal polyphenism, where alternative seasonal conditions lead to the production of distinct seasonal phenotypes, is common in insects (Nijhout, 2003; Moczek, 2010; Simpson et al., 2011; Yang and Pospisilik, 2019).”
