Comparative transcriptomics reveals that a novel form of phenotypic plasticity evolved via lineage‐specific changes in gene expression

Abstract Novel forms of phenotypic plasticity may evolve by lineage‐specific changes or by co‐opting mechanisms from more general forms of plasticity. Here, we evaluated whether a novel resource polyphenism in New World spadefoot toads (genus Spea) evolved by co‐opting mechanisms from an ancestral f...
