Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the concept of phenotypic plasticity, the book delves into how genotypes can produce varied phenotypes in response to different environmental conditions. It aims to bridge the gap between genetics and ecology, addressing critical questions about the origin of adaptive phenotypes, organismal responses to stress, and the interplay of costs and natural selection. Over the past two decades, this field has gained significant traction, becoming a focal point in ecological genetics, developmental biology, and evolutionary theory.
