A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen has made significant strides in understanding the evolution of predatory behavior of nematodes, challenging established ...

Scientists reveal nematodes can evolve predatory instincts over generations, driven by environmental exposure and microRNA ...

Phenotypic Plasticity in Life History Traits Genetic variation and constraints are not the only factors affecting the expression and evolution of life history traits. Another important issue is ...

Two common snail species (Nucella lapillus and Littorina obtusata) have evolved in response to a major predator: the invasive ...

2005). Environmental Variance and Phenotypic Plasticity Both general environmental variance and genotype by environment interaction are aspects of a characteristic known as phenotypic plasticity.

This is due to their remarkable phenotypic plasticity, i.e., their ability to change their form or behavior despite their ...

The emerald ash borer, on the other hand, has shown the ability to better withstand colder conditions through a process called phenotypic plasticity, which allows them to adapt to colder conditions ...

Our current research projects are specifically focused on the evolution of dispersal, habitat specialization, and phenotypic plasticity in plants that occupy variable environments. We use field ...

The goal of our research is to explain how dynamic alterations in protein folding and assembly states regulate the phenotypic plasticity of cells and organisms. This information is highly relevant for ...

We employ cutting edge patient-derived organoid and mouse models of colorectal cancer, transcriptomic, epigenomic and single cell approaches, and mechanistic studies to: (1) elucidate how tumor ...
