Jack of all trades, master of some? On the role of phenotypic plasticity in plant invasions.
TLDR
What is required to assess phenotypic plasticity at different levels is described and a new framework can be applied when testing both ecological or evolutionary oriented hypotheses, and therefore promises to bridge the gap between the two perspectives.

Epigenetics for ecologists.
TLDR
Ecologists should start using a combination of experimental approaches borrowed from ecological genetics, novel techniques to analyse and manipulate epigenetic variation, and genomic tools, to investigate the extent and structure of epigenetics variation within and among natural populations, as well as the interrelations between epigenetic variations, phenotypic variation and ecological interactions.

Phenotypic integration: studying the ecology and evolution of complex phenotypes
TLDR
It is suggested that studying integration provides a particularly stimulating and truly interdisciplinary convergence of researchers from fields as disparate as molecular genetics, developmental biology, evolutionary ecology, palaeontology and even philosophy of science.

Phenotypic plasticity and evolution by genetic assimilation
TLDR
It is suggested that much of the controversy hinges on several misunderstandings, including unwarranted fears of a general attempt at overthrowing the Modern Synthesis paradigm, and some fundamental conceptual confusion about the proper roles of phenotypic plasticity and natural selection within evolutionary theory.

Is evolvability evolvable?
TLDR
The concept of evolvability, and the increasing theoretical and empirical literature that refers to it, may constitute one of several pillars on which an extended evolutionary synthesis will take shape during the next few years, although much work remains to be done on how evolVability comes about.
