摘要
A research agenda for the next phase of plasticity studies calls for contributions from a diverse group of biologists, working both independently and collaboratively, to pursue four promising directions: examining dynamic, anatomical/architectural, and cross-generational plasticity along with simpler growth traits; carefully assessing the adaptive significance of those plasticity patterns; investigating the intricate transduction pathways that lead from environmental signal to phenotypic response; and considering the rich environmental context of natural systems. Progress in these areas will allow us to address broad and timely questions regarding the ecological and evolutionary significance of plasticity and the nature of phenotypic determination.
