EVOLUTION AND DETECTION OF GENETIC ROBUSTNESS (2003, background): “In fact, there are many mechanisms by which the stability of some trait or function is maintained in the face of environmental perturbations (cf. Ancel Meyers and Bull 2002).”
Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design (2003, neutral): “It enlarges the scope of their viewpoints to bring the various kinds of phenotypic variation together within a common framework and it emphasizes the potential of intra-individual phenotypic variation for biological discovery (see [68] for a discussion that includes variation between genotypes).”
The importance of immune gene variability (MHC) in evolutionary ecology and conservation (2005, background): “While these markers are very informative for phylogenetic reconstructions and population history (bottleneck effects), for molecular clocks, to examine dispersal patterns of individuals (gene flow) and to classify individuals by relatedness and paternity analyses [25-28], the variation at neutral lo”
Extreme climatic events in relation to global change and their impact on life histories (2011, background): “Predictable variation may select for phenotypic plasticity, where reaction norms express the usual range of environmental variation experienced by populations (Schlichting and Pigliucci, 1998; Meyers and Bull, 2002).”
Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “Adaptive capacity covers a wide range of ecological, physiological, and genetic phenomena that act at multiple levels of organisation and time scales, including short-term phenotypic plasticity within individuals (physiological tolerance, acclimation), genetic diversity within populations and specie”
Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity (2012, background): “At the most basic level of biodiversity, climate change is able to decrease genetic diversity of populations due to directional selection and rapid migration, which could in turn affect ecosystem functioning and resilience (Botkin et al. 2007 but, see Meyers & Bull 2002).”
Divergence among species and populations of Mediterranean pines in biomass allocation of seedlings grown under two watering regimes (2011, background): “These changes are not inherently adaptive; in particular those related to resource limitation might represent inevitable responses of the organisms [10,28,51].”
Mucosal Barrier Functions of Fish under Changing Environmental Conditions (2019, background): “Adaptations to varying environmetal pressures are often advantageous, since they can be crucial to the survival of an organism [13,14].”
Diversity in times of adversity: probabilistic strategies in microbial survival games. (2005, neutral): “The results from this paper and from (Wolf et al., 2004),summarized in Table 3,add several variables to those proposed by Ancel-Meyers and Bull to predict selection among the different classes of adaptive phenotypic variation ( Ancel Meyers and Bull,2003 ). Specifically,we add (1) the (in)ability o”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “Alternatively, or in addition, adaptation to new environmental conditions can be achieved by phenotypic changes of the individual, i.e., phenotypic plasticity (Meyers and Bull, 2002).”
Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (2008, background): “…coping with environmental changes is likely to vary depending on the timescale considered, organisms’ life history, rate and extent of environmental change, and availability of alternative habitats and species’ dispersal ability (Holt 1990; Meyers & Bull 2002; Sultan & Spencer 2002; Davis et al .”
