Phenotypic plasticity of labile traits in the wild

JE Brommer - Current Zoology, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Individual-based studies allow quantification of phenotypic plasticity in behavioural, life-
history and other labile traits. The study of phenotypic plasticity in the wild can shed new …

Variation in breeding phenology provides insights into drivers of long-term population change in harbour seals

LS Cordes, PM Thompson - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Phenological trends provide important indicators of environmental change and population
dynamics. However, the use of untested population-level measures can lead to incorrect …

Exploring patterns of variation in clutch size–density reaction norms in a wild passerine bird

M Nicolaus, JE Brommer, R Ubels… - Journal of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Negative density dependence of clutch size is a ubiquitous characteristic of avian
populations and is partly due to within‐individual phenotypic plasticity. Yet, very little is …
