Evolutionary capacitance may be favored by natural selection.
Evolutionary capacitors phenotypically reveal a stock of cryptic genetic variation in a reversible fashion. The sudden and reversible revelation of a range of variation is fundamentally different from the gradual introduction of variation by mutation. Here I study the invasion dynamics of modifiers of revelation. A modifier with the optimal rate of revelation mopt has a higher probability of in...
متن کاملProgramed Death is Favored by Natural Selection in Spatial Systems.
Standard evolutionary theories of aging and mortality, implicitly based on mean-field assumptions, hold that programed mortality is untenable, as it opposes direct individual benefit. We show that in spatial models with local reproduction, programed deaths instead robustly result in long-term benefit to a lineage, by reducing local environmental resource depletion via spatiotemporal patterns ca...

متن کاملWhy Induced Defenses May Be Favored over Constitutive Strategies in Plants
Although induced resistance has been documented in over 100 species of plants, why plants employ facultative defense strategies is not well understood. Although it has been widely accepted that induction may be a means of reducing resource allocations to defense when not needed, this explanation is not exclusive of a wide array of hypotheses for the advantages of induced defenses. In an attempt...
