Epigenetically facilitated mutational assimilation: epigenetics as a hub within the inclusive evolutionary synthesis (2018, background): “…the modern synthesis of evolution (Pennisi, 2008; Bonduriansky, 2012; Danchin, 2013; Laland et al., 2014) into an ‘extended’ (Pigliucci & Muller, 2010; Laland et al., 2014; Wray et al., 2014) or ‘inclusive’ (Danchin et al., 2011; Danchin, 2013; Huneman & Whalsh, 2017) evolutionary synthesis.”
The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “The additional evolutionary processes that the EES highlights are more than just nonessential ‘add-ons’ [10] and may be as important in shaping evolution as those recognized within the field over the past century.”
Phenotypic plasticity, the Baldwin effect, and the speeding up of evolution: the computational roots of an illusion. (2014, background): “hors have called for a radical revision of the consensus view and argued that much evolution involves genetic accommodation [9,18,19,20; but see 21]. The current tension among evolutionary biologists [22] is unmatched by evolutionary computationalists [6,23,24] and scholars in others disciplines (ty”
