Ecological evolutionary developmental biology (Eco-Evo-Devo)
divided into 2 main concepts
Developmental plasticity: an organims' ability to change its form to react to its environment. such an organism may develop different phenotype based on its environment
generate environmentally induced phenotypes which may be
an inherited trait once incorporated into the genome
may provide range of phenotypes within which animals live in the environment
adaptable variations through genetic accomodation, and construction of niche
niche construction; organisms may actively alter its surroundings/environment.
Developmental symbiosis: organisms created from interactions between host and symbiotic microorganisms
makes ready mechanisms needed for reproduction isolation
produce genetic variation for entire animals
generate particular organs
helps facilitate evolutionary transition
Other definitions
Phylosymbiosis
Relationship between microbial communities that allows to recapitulate the phylogeny of the host
Roles of symbionts in evolutionary process
forms 2 types of genetic inheritance through eggs or environment
Provides phenotypic variation to holobiant through genetic variation
tissue and organs development
Holobiants/Metaorganisms
This refers to microbial communities in or on an animal that forms an important part of the functionality of the host
