Ontogenetic Instability

Ontogenetic Instability is a theoretical construct in developmental biology that denotes the propensity of developmental processes to exhibit variability or divergence in phenotypic expression across ontogeny due to intrinsic or extrinsic perturbations, distinguishing it from static models of development by emphasizing dynamic unpredictability within individual life histories.
