Background Plastic responses of plants to the environment are ubiquitous. Phenotypic
plasticity occurs in many forms and at many biological scales, and its adaptive value …

Phenotypic plasticity, the property by which living organisms express different phenotypes
depending on environmental conditions, can impact their response to environmental …

The prevalent view of developmental phenotypic switching holds that phenotype
modifications occurring during critical windows of development are “irreversible”–that is …

Abstract The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an invasive
pest, that is currently expanding its geographic distribution from the Mediterranean coasts to …

Organisms experience variation in the thermal environment on several different temporal
scales, with seasonality being particularly prominent in temperate regions. For organisms …

Studies suggest that many species are already living close to their upper physiological
thermal limits. Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be an important mechanism for species to …

Thermal tolerance plasticity is a core mechanism by which organisms can mitigate the
effects of climate change. As a result, there is a need to understand how variation in …

Mounting evidence suggests that ectotherms are already living close to their upper
physiological thermal limits. Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed to reduce the impact of …

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

Sturgeon are found circumglobally throughout the northern hemisphere. Longevity, late age
to sexual maturation and infrequent spawning are typical life history strategies that have …
