Chapters cover recent ideas about the significance and roles of extended phenotypes and provide overviews of the latest advances. Written for a broad audience of researchers and students, the book's chapters establish extended phenotypes as focal structures for understanding genotype-to-phenotype maps, the origins and consequences of complex traits among multiple interacting partners, and the roles they may play in providing resilience against climate change.
- Compiles and synthesizes the latest advances in understanding extended phenotypes
- Provides detailed information on molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning formation and control of extended phenotypes
- Gives comprehensive implications of extended phenotypes for ecology, evolution and applied systems
Organismal biologists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, for both researchers and students.
