Camouflaged or tanned: plasticity in freshwater snail pigmentation [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2013
By having phenotypically plastic traits, many organisms optimize their fitness in response to fluctuating threats. Freshwater snails with translucent shells, e.g. snails from the Radix genus, differ considerably in their mantle pigmentation patterns, with snails from the same water body ranging from being completely
