Environmental induction and phenotypic retention of adaptive maternal effects
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The origin of complex adaptations is one of the most controversial questions in biology. Environmental induction of novel phenotypes, where phenotypic retention of adaptive developmental variation is enabled by organismal complexity...
