Otaki and co-workers document an explosion of wing pattern variation accompanying range expansion in the pale grass blue butterfly. This pattern can be replicated in the laboratory using artificial selection on cold shocked pupae, at temperature extremes typical of recently colonized environments. We discuss how this phenotypic plasticity may be associated with successful colonization and how significant local adaptation is likely to re-establish developmental control. Integrating knowledge of trait plasticity into current genetic models of adaptation is central to our understanding of when and where a colonising population will be able to persist and adapt in novel surroundings. date: 2010-12-09 publisher: BIOMED CENTRAL LTD official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-10-382 vfaculties: VFLS oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Editorial Material verified: verified_batch elements_source: Web of Science elements_id: 283792 doi: 10.1186/1471-2148-10-382 lyricists_name: Bridle, Jonathan lyricists_name: Pomiankowski, Andrew lyricists_id: JBRID88 lyricists_id: APOMI03 full_text_status: public publication: BMC Evolutionary Biology volume: 10 article_number: 382 issn: 1471-2148 citation: Buckley, J; Bridle, JR; Pomiankowski, A; (2010) Novel variation associated with species range expansion.
