A role for adaptive developmental plasticity in learning and decision making
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2020.07.010
Abstract: From both a medical and educational perspective, there is enormous value to understanding the environmental factors that sculpt learning and decision making. These questions are often approached from proximate levels of analysis, but may be… read more here.

Developmental plasticity in the neural control of breathing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Experimental Neurology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2016.05.032
Abstract: The respiratory control system undergoes a diversity of morphological and physiological transformational stages during intrauterine development as it prepares to transition into an air-breathing lifestyle. Following birth, the respiratory system continues to develop and may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1042/bst20210995
Abstract: Plasticity in developmental processes gives rise to remarkable environmentally induced phenotypes. Some of the most striking and well-studied examples of developmental plasticity are seen in insects. For example, beetle horn size responds to nutritional state,… read more here.

Language and developmental plasticity after perinatal stroke
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"
DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2207293119
Abstract: Significance It has long been claimed that the young brain is capable of recovery and reorganization that does not occur in adults. However, evidence has been mixed, and the principles and constraints of developmental plasticity… read more here.

Adaptive developmental plasticity in a butterfly : mechanisms for size and time at pupation differ between diapause and direct development

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blx047
Abstract: Diapause (overwintering) and direct development are alternative developmental pathways in temperate insects. Diapause necessitates physiological preparations for dormancy, while direct development ... read more here.

Non-migratory monarch butterflies, Danaus plexippus (L.), retain developmental plasticity and a navigational mechanism associated with migration

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blx148
Abstract: Monarch butterflies are best known from their migratory North American range, although many resident, year-round breeding populations are established throughout the world. Here, we evaluate two non-exclusive hypotheses for the loss of migration in resident… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icad026
Abstract: Ecogeographical rules, describing common trends in animal form across space and time, have provided key insights into the primary factors driving species diversity on our planet. Among the most well-known ecogeographical rules are Bergmann's Rule… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/iey066
Abstract: Abstract Traits that promote the maintenance of body temperatures within an optimal range provide advantages to ectothermic species. Pigmentation plasticity is found in many insects and enhances thermoregulatory potential as increased melanization can result in… read more here.

Developmental plasticity in multimodal signals: light environment produces novel signalling phenotypes in a butterfly
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0099
Abstract: Developmental plasticity can alter the expression of sexual signals in novel environments and is therefore thought to play an important role in promoting divergence. Sexual signals, however, are often multimodal and mate choice multivariate. Hence,… read more here.

Temperature, size and developmental plasticity in birds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0357
Abstract: As temperatures increase, there is growing evidence that species across much of the tree of life are getting smaller. These climate change-driven size reductions are often interpreted as a temporal analogue of the observation that… read more here.

Adaptive developmental plasticity in rhesus macaques: the serotonin transporter gene interacts with maternal care to affect juvenile social behaviour

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.0541
Abstract: Research has increasingly highlighted the role that developmental plasticity—the ability of a particular genotype to produce variable phenotypes in response to different early environments—plays as an adaptive mechanism. One of the most widely studied genetic… read more here.
