Development Strategies and Biodiversity

Darwinian Fitness and Evolution in the Anthropocene

Edición de David Costantini, Valeria Marasco ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Development is a complex and highly dynamic process involving the cross talk among genes, maternal effects and environmental circumstances. Widespread evidence from plant to animal species show that variation in developmental conditions can modulate life history trajectories and influence key traits, such as growth, reproduction, and senescence. These effects are not limited to a single generation ... Leer más
