Phenotypic plasticity evolves at multiple biological levels in response to environmental predictability in a long-term experiment with a halotolerant microalga.

However, the assay salinity now explained the greatest part of variation in gene expression ( R 2 adj = 32.91%; P < 0.001), indicating pervasive and highly significant plasticity.

This response was, however, less pronounced for DNA methylation, which only displayed marginally significant relationship between total plasticity and predictability ( Fig 5A ), but with substantial variation in the number of salinity DMRs among evolutionary treatments ( Fig 2B ).
