Plasticity in Population Genetic Models
By definition, plasticity is contexts dependent. If you're trying to predict the phoenotype a, it depends on the environment that you find yourself in. And so we recognize that these kind of plastic changes are somewhat ubiquitous and have evolved in response to natural selection. But putting in that kind of environmental hetrogeneity into a lot of traditional population genetic models has been very, very difficult. Some people just don't wat it go to the trouble of dealing with the complexity.
