[HTML][HTML] How important is hidden phenotypic plasticity arising from alternative but converging developmental trajectories, and what limits it?
NB Metcalfe - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2024 - journals.biologists.com
Developmental plasticity–the capacity for a genotype to develop into different phenotypes,
depending on the environment–is typically viewed from the perspective of the resulting …

Interplay of cooperative breeding and predation risk on egg allocation and reproductive output
Predation risk can influence behavior, reproductive investment, and, ultimately, individuals'
fitness. In high-risk environments, females often reduce allocation to reproduction, which can …
