This project examines how developmental plasticity influences evolutionary changes in traits using burying beetles as a model. It investigates the effects of parental care on offspring development and the potential for these changes to drive evolutionary adaptations.
A major outstanding challenge for evolutionary biology is to explain how novel adaptations arise.
We propose to test whether developmental plasticity initiates evolutionary change in morphological, behavioural and social traits, using laboratory experiments, fieldwork and comparative analyses.Using burying beetles Nicrophorus spp as our model experimental system, we shall:1) Test whether variation in parental provisioning during development induces correlated phenotypic change in adult body size…
