Despite considerable theoretical interest in how the evolution of phenotypic plasticity should
be shaped by environmental variability and stochasticity, how individuals actually respond to …

The ability of individual organisms to alter morphological and life‐history traits in response to
the conditions they experience is an example of phenotypic plasticity which is fundamental …

Abstract Changes in the environment are expected to induce changes in the quantitative
genetic variation, which influences the ability of a population to adapt to environmental …

Environmental change from anthropogenic activities threatens individual organisms, the
persistence of populations, and entire species. Rapid environmental change puts organisms …

Phenotypic plasticity plays a key role in modulating how environmental variation influences
population dynamics, but we have only rudimentary understanding of how plasticity interacts …

For insects that exhibit wing polyphenic development, abiotic and biotic signals dictate the
adult wing morphology of the insect in an adaptive manner such that in stressful …

We present a mathematical model for predicting the expected fitness of phenotypically
plastic organisms experiencing a variable environment. We assume that individuals …

Evolvable traits of organisms can alter the environment those organisms experience. While it
is well appreciated that those modified environments can influence natural selection to …

Phenotypic plasticity is predicted to evolve in more variable environments, conferring an
advantage on individual lifetime fitness. It is less clear what the potential consequences of …

The slow, inexorable rise in annual average global temperatures and acidification of the
oceans are often advanced as consequences of global change. However, many …
