The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie, the …

Developmental plasticity is an important product of evolutionary processes, allowing
organisms to maintain high fitness in the face of environmental perturbations. Once evolved, …

The evolution of male‐biased sexual size dimorphism is associated with increased body
size plasticity in males - Rohner - 2018 - Functional Ecology - Wiley Online Library …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) arises when the net effects of natural and sexual selection
on body size differ between the sexes. Quantitative SSD variation between taxa is common, …

Nutrition‐dependent growth of sexual traits is a major contributor to phenotypic diversity,
and a large body of research documents insulin signalling as a major regulator of nutritional …

Understanding the interplay between genetic differentiation, ancestral plasticity, and the
evolution of plasticity during adaptation to environmental variation is critical to predict …

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been estimated in multiple ectotherm species to
understand their thermal plasticity and adaptation and to predict the effect of global warming. …

The degree to which developmental systems bias the phenotypic effects of environmental
and genetic variation, and how these biases affect evolution, is subject to much debate. Here, …

Sexual selection can displace traits acting as ornaments or armaments from their viability
optimum in one sex, ultimately giving rise to sexual dimorphism. The degree of dimorphism …

Age and size at maturity are key life‐history components, yet the proximate underpinnings
that mediate intra‐ and interspecific variation in life history remain poorly understood. We …
