Phenotypic plasticity is normally quantified as a reaction norm which details how trait
expression changes across an environmental gradient. Sometime reaction norms are linear …

A long-standing question in ecology is whether phenotypic plasticity, rather than selection
per se, is responsible for phenotypic variation among populations. Plasticity can increase or …

Phenotypic integration can be defined as the network of multivariate relationships among
behavioural, physiological and morphological traits that describe the organism. Phenotypic …

The adaptive nature of phenotypic plasticity is widely documented. However, little is known
about the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation of plasticity within populations …

Phenotypic plasticity is increasingly recognized as a key element of eco‐evolutionary
dynamics, but it remains challenging to assess because of its multidimensional nature …

We investigated three aspects of adaptation to variable environments in Daphnia pulex
(Cladocera: Crustacea):(1) effects of temporal variation on the evolution of phenotypic …

Individual reaction norms describe how labile phenotypes vary as a function of organisms'
expected trait values (intercepts) and plasticity across environments (slopes), as well as their …

Phenotypic plasticity can allow organisms to cope with environmental changes. Although
reaction norms are commonly used to quantify plasticity along gradients of environmental …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an individual genotype to alter aspects of its phenotype
depending on the current environment. It is central to the persistence, resistance and …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity may improve the response of individuals when faced with new
environmental conditions. Typically, empirical evidence for plasticity is based on phenotypic …
