Phenotypic plasticity of vegetative and reproductive traits in monoecious and dioecious populations of Sagittaria latifolia (Alismataceae): a clonal aquatic plant (2004, background): “33 Vegetative and reproductive plasticity in Sagittaria © 2004 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 92 , 32–44 Pigliucci 1998; Pigliucci 2001), the extent to which patterns of plasticity differ among traits, life histories and habitats, and the adaptive basis of this variation are…”
Re-evaluating the costs and limits of adaptive phenotypic plasticity (2010, background): “When a trait is canalized, it may be well-adapted to one environment, but when a trait is plastic it may be well-adapted to many environments (Bradshaw 1965; Pigliucci 2001).”
How do traits vary across ecological scales? A case for trait-based ecology. (2010, background): “…disciplines are concerned especially with trait variation, which exists at all spatiotemporal and organizational scales: within a single organism (Pigliucci 2001), within a species (Valladares et al. 2000; Takahashi et al. 2005; McGill et al. 2006; Rozendaal et al. 2006), among species (Wright…”
Environmental Heterogeneity and Population Differentiation in Plasticity to Drought in Convolvulus Chilensis (Convolvulaceae) (2005, background): “Phenotypic plasticity is an important means by which individual plants in natural populations may cope with environmental heterogeneity (Pigliucci, 2001).”
Aerial dispersal plasticity under different wind velocities in a salt marsh wolf spider (2007, background): “As any other behavioral trait, it can be expected to show phenotypic plasticity (West-Eberhard 1989; Pigliucci 2001).”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “The evolution of phenotypic plasticity, or its evolutionary change, may be constrained by the costs of plasticity (DeWitt et al., 1998; Pigliucci, 2001) and the restrictive selection conditions needed (Scheiner and Lyman, 1991; Scheiner, 1993, 2002).”
Maternal effects and evolution at ecological time‐scales (2007, background): “Maternal phenotypic plasticity, maternally mediated changes of offspring phenotype in response to the environment, is well established in a range of systems, particularly for offspring size and timing of breeding (Pigliucci 2001).”
Penguin responses to climate change in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “Microevolution changes the genetic composition of populations decreasing the frequency of genotypes with lower fitness (Gienapp et al., 2008; Visser, 2008), whereas phenotypic plasticity occurs when the same genotype expresses different phenotypes under different environments (Pigliucci, 2001).”
Adaptive versus non‐adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the potential for contemporary adaptation in new environments (2007, background): “How selection should act on the developmental tension between the need to be buffered from the environment vs the ability to track and adaptively respond to environmental differences was discussed early on by Waddington (1942) and Schmalhausen (1949), but progress in understanding the evolutionary o”
Behavioural responses to human‐induced environmental change (2011, background): “The responses depend on the reaction norms of the individuals, which can vary among individuals and evolve over generations, depending on heritability (Pigliucci, 2001, 2005).”
Ecological limits to plant phenotypic plasticity. (2007, background): “There have been significant advances in the understanding of the genetic basis and potential adaptive value of reaction norms, which depict the variation in phenotypic expression with the environment (Scheiner, 1993; Sultan, 1995, 2001; Pigliucci, 2001; Schlichting, 2002; DeWitt & Scheiner, 2004; va”
Quantifying individual variation in reaction norms: how study design affects the accuracy, precision and power of random regression models (2012, background): “Phenotypic plasticity, the change in the phenotype of an organism in response to environmental change, is an important source of trait variation (Pigliucci 2001).”
Evolutionary Biology of Animal Cognition (2004, background): “The term “gene by environment interaction” is restricted to cases where the environment has different effects on different genotypes (reviewed in Futuyma 1998, Pigliucci 2001).”
Invasive Species and Amphibian Conservation (2020, background): “Phenotypic plasticity (i.e., the capacity of a given genotype to express different phenotypic responses under diverging environmental conditions; Pigliucci 2001), is a key evolutionary mechanism that allows species to persist under unpredictable conditions.”
