Phenotypic plasticity, allelic switches and canalization: a metalineage
perspective. Adaptive suites, coadapted genomes and dynamic genetic
templets. Trade offs and synergisms in phenotypic organization: an
evolutionary framework. The evolution of senescence and longevity

This is a very good book - The Biologist; ...contains much food for thought - The Molecular Engineer and Biotechnologist
