Developmental plasticity refers to the property by which the same genotype produces
distinct phenotypes depending on the environmental conditions under which development …

Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Understanding constraints to phenotypic plasticity is key given its role on the response of
organisms to environmental change. It has been suggested that phenotypic integration, the …

Acclimation and other forms of plasticity that can increase stress resistance feature strongly
in discussions surrounding climate change impacts or vulnerability projections of insects …

Plasticity in traits in response to environmental conditions can increase fitness, expanding
the range of environments within which a genotype can generate viable and productive …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity describes the phenomenon in which a single genotype can
produce a variety of phenotypes that match their environments. Like any trait, plasticity is a …

Body size is a quantitative trait that is closely associated to fitness and under the control of
both genetic and environmental factors. While developmental plasticity for this and other …

In the event of a community turnover, population decline, or complete disappearance of
pollinators, animal‐pollinated plants may respond by adapting to novel pollinators or by …

Ongoing climate change has forced animals to face changing thermal and nutritional
environments. Animals can adjust to such combinations of stressors via plasticity. Body size …

Most organisms experience variable and sometimes suboptimal environments in their
lifetime. While stressful environmental conditions are normally viewed as a strong selective …
