Optimal phenotypic plasticity in a stochastic environment minimizes the cost/benefit ratio [PDF]
This paper addresses the question of optimal phenotypic plasticity as a response to environmental fluctuations while optimizing the cost/benefit ratio, where the cost is energetic expense of plasticity, and benefit is fitness.
