Development and evolution of adaptive polyphenisms
HF Nijhout - Evolution & development, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Phenotypic plasticity is the primitive character state for most if not all traits. Insofar as
developmental and physiological processes obey the laws of chemistry and physics, they will be …

The development and evolution of exaggerated morphologies in insects
DJ Emlen, HF Nijhout - Annual review of entomology, 2000 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We discuss a framework for studying the evolution of morphology in insects, based
on the concepts of “phenotypic plasticity” and “reaction norms.” We illustrate this approach …
