- catalog description "1. Phenotypic evolution and its many facets : Fisher versus Wright? ; Open questions on the evolution of phenotypes : How do we connect observed patterns to underlying processes? Mechanistic biology and the comparative method ; What are the limits to variability? The role of constraints in phenotypic evolution ; How are complex phenotypes coordinated? The evolution of epigenetic systems ; How do organisms deal with changing environments? Genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity ; How do novel phenotypes arise? Micro-versus(?) macroevolution. Theoretical approaches : Quantitative genetics ; Optimality models ; Complexity theory. Empirical approaches : Comparative studies ; Evolution in the field ; Phenotypic manipulation ; Classical quantitative genetics ; Laboratory evolution ; Artificial life. A different view: the developmental norm of reaction : Ontogenetic trajectories and development ; Phenotypic complexity and multivariate allometries ; Environmental modifications: reaction norms and phenotypic plasticity ; Developmental reaction norms. What will follow".
