New paper in Current Biology – Commentary on recent study demonstrating how plasticity may enable genetic adaptation

Congrats to Blair and Drew for putting together a nice commentary on a recent paper by Corl et al. in Current Biology, which demonstrates an intriguing example of how plasticity may play a role in facilitating long term genetic adaptation based on an example in desert lizards. If you haven’t, I would encourage you to read the original article by Corl et. al. (Rasmus Nielsen’s lab) here: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdfExtended/S0960-9822(18)30899-6
