Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “Conditional tactics (cf. BOX 18.3) have been found in a wide range of taxa and in many different functional contexts, being quite likely the most common form of discrete variation within species (West-Eberhard 2003, Oliveira et al. 2008a).”
A Manifesto for a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “For example, it seems difficult to see how the essences Aristotle postulated could encompass either the indefinite developmental plasticity now acknowledged to be a characteristic of organisms (West-Eberhard 2003), or the changes that kinds of organisms undergo over the course of evolution.”
A New Paradigm for Developmental Science: Relationism and Relational-Developmental Systems (2013, background): “Here the field is rapidly moving from the traditional Modern Synthesis (see, Pigliucci & Mueller, 2010a)—integrating Mendelian genetics with neo-Darwinian variation and natural selection, and split-off from individual development—to a position in which individual development has become an integral p”
Landscape structure and phenotypic plasticity in flight morphology in the butterfly Pararge aegeria (2006, background): “Such variability is a prerequisite for phenotypic plasticity to respond to natural selection and hence to be adaptive (West-Eberhard 2003).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “Second, suitable behavioural plasticity can allow and shape future evolution of both the behaviour itself and other adaptive responses (e.g. life history or morphological responses) to HIREC (Baldwin 1896; Wcislo 1989; West-Eberhard 2003; Crispo 2007; Ghalambor et al. 2007).”
Within‐generation variation of critical thermal limits in adult Mediterranean and Natal fruit flies Ceratitis capitata and Ceratitis rosa: thermal history affects short‐term responses to temperature (2010, background): “the ability of an organism to respond to environmental stimuli with a change in phenotype) (West-Eberhard, 2003; Whitman, 2009).”
