Ecological metabolomics: overview of current developments and future challenges (2011, background): “In this way, it advances our knowledge of the development of phenotypic plasticity (Via et al. 1995; Pigliucci 2005) and its evolutionary consequences (Agrawal 2001).”
Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “This phenomenon, termed phenotypic plasticity, has been particularly well documented and modeled for life histories of insects and amphibians (for recent review, see Bayne and Honkoop, 2003; Piersma and Drent, 2003, Pigliucci, 2005).”
Re-evaluating the costs and limits of adaptive phenotypic plasticity (2010, background): “Consequently, there has been a great deal of interest in understanding how plasticity evolves, including the factors that favour and constrain its evolution, and the ecological importance of these outcomes (e.g. Schlichting 1986; Sultan 1987; DeWitt et al. 1998; Agrawal 2001; Pigliucci 2005; van Kle”
The evolutionary ecology of individual phenotypic plasticity in wild populations (2007, background): “However, a certain amount of replication is necessary in order to estimate G · E.”
Environmental heterogeneity leads to higher plasticity in dry‐edge populations of a semi‐arid Chilean shrub: insights into climate change responses (2015, background): “Phenotypic plasticity, like any other trait, could be subject to evolution by natural selection (Pigliucci 2005; Richards et al. 2006).”
Brain Plasticity and Human Evolution (2017, positive): “Although plasticity may come with certain evolutionary costs (Pigliucci 2005), these aspects of modern human development and neurobiology are related to fitness benefits as our species has become dependent on cultural learning as a key adaptation (Tomasello 2009, Boyd et al. 2011).”
Human behavioral ecology: current research and future prospects (2013, background): “…nloaded from Behavioral Ecology and social learning, exactly because they allow individuals to acquire locally adaptive behavioral strategies over a range of environments (Scheiner 1993; Pigliucci 2005), and it is these plastic mechanisms that are often in immediate control of behavioral decisions.”
The evolutionary genetics of personality (2007, background): “While a GxE interaction is a population statistic, an individual reaction norm can be regarded as a characteristic of an individual genotype (Pigliucci, 2005).”
Jack of all trades, master of some? On the role of phenotypic plasticity in plant invasions. (2006, methodology): “This requires the use of several tools from the conceptual and empirical arsenal of ecology and evolutionary biology, including common garden experiments, selection studies and the comparative phylogenetic method (see Dudley & Schmitt 1996; Schmitt et al. 1999; Sultan 2000; van Kleunen & Fischer 200”
Bridging the gap between the genotype and the phenotype: linking genetic variation, selection and adaptation in fishes (2008, background): “Pigliucci, M. (2005) Evolution of phenotypic plasticity: where are we going now? Trends in Ecology and Evolution”
Diet predicts intestine length in Lake Tanganyika’s cichlid fishes (2009, background): “In fluctuating environ- ments, the capacity for phenotypic plasticity can itself be a target of selection (West-Eberhard 2003; Pigliucci 2005; Gha- lambor et al. 2007), and patterns consistent with adaptive plasticity in intestine morphology have been demonstrated in rodents (Naya, Bozinovic &…”
Developmental Plasticity in the Thermal Tolerance of Zebrafish Danio rerio (2006, background): “the amount of plasticity in various populations, its energetic cost and adaptive significance (DeWitt et al., 1998; Pigliucci, 2005; Somero, 2005).”
Early growth conditions, phenotypic development and environmental change (2008, background): “This is because plasticity itself may well carry some costs, and hence would not be favoured by natural selection if the environment were stable (Pigliucci 2005).”
Between-individual differences in behavioural plasticity within populations: causes and consequences (2013, background): “Phenotypic plasticity has been demonstrated for a large array of traits including behavioural, life history, morphological and physiological traits (West-Eberhard 2003; Pigliucci 2005; Nussey et al. 2007; Sih 2011).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, background): “Costs and limits of phenotypic plasticity need more attention in future ecophysiological studies (Pigliucci 2005) before assuming that species from unstable environment may be the winners in the race against climate change.”
Self‐medication in insects: current evidence and future perspectives (2014, background): “Adaptive plasticity is the ability of an individual to change the expression of a trait in a predictable way relative to an environmental factor, and is expected when there is a trade-off between alternative phenotypes (Sinervo & Svensson, 1998; Pigliucci, 2005).”
Behavioural plasticity: an interaction between evolution and experience (2010, background): “Costs of behavioural plasticity have long been hypothesized (DeWitt et al. 1998; Dukas 1999; Johnston 1982), but direct experimental evidence is still scarce (Pigliucci 2005).”
