Evolutionary biology

adaptive mutual adjustment among parts of a developing phenotype, without genetic change, that follows a new input such as a mutation or an environmental shift.

In evolutionary biology, phenotypic accommodation refers to adaptive mutual adjustment among parts of a developing phenotype, without genetic change, that follows a new input such as a mutation or an environmental shift. This meaning comes from West‐Eberhard (2005) in Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution.[1]
