Costs of Phenotypic Plasticity
The American Naturalist, 2002Phenotypically plastic organisms display alternative phenotypes in different environments. It is widely appreciated that possessing alternative phenotypes can affect fitness. However, some investigators have suggested that simply carrying the ability to be plastic could also affect fitness.

Why is there so much variation in insect behavior? This chapter will address the sources of behavioral variability, with a particular focus on phenotypic plasticity. Variation in social, nutritional, and seasonal environmental contexts during development and adulthood can give rise to phenotypic plasticity. To delve into mechanism underlying behavioral

Phenotypic plasticity is the property of a genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to different environmental conditions (Bradshaw 1965; Mazer and Damuth, this volume, chapter 2). Simply put, students of phenotypic plasticity deal with the way nature (genes) and nurture (environment) interact to yield the anatomy, morphology, and behavior ...

Phenotypic Plasticity and Species Coexistence
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016Ecologists are increasingly interested in predicting how intraspecific variation and changing trait values impact species interactions and community composition. For many traits, much of this variation is caused by phenotypic plasticity, and thus the impact of plasticity on species coexistence deserves robust quantification.

Phenotypic plasticity in freshwater picocyanobacteria
Environmental Microbiology, 2017Summary Picocyanobacteria can occur as single‐cell (Pcy) or as colonies (CPcy). Published evidence suggests that some Pcy strains have the capability to aggregate under certain culture conditions, however this has not been demonstrated to occur in natural environments.

Phenotypic plasticity in Phlox
Oecologia, 1989Three species of Phlox (Polemoniaceae) were grown in 6 greenhouse treatments. A variety of traits were recorded and the correlations among them were computed for each treatment. The phenotypic correlations between characters are significantly altered when plants are grown under different environmental conditions.

Costs and limits of phenotypic plasticity
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1998The costs and limits of phenotypic plasticity are thought to have important ecological and evolutionary consequences, yet they are not as well understood as the benefits of plasticity. At least nine ideas exist regarding how plasticity may be costly or limited, but these have rarely been discussed together.

Phenotypic Plasticity of MDSC in Cancers
Immunological Investigations, 2012Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were initially reported as suppressor of the adaptive immune responses against cancer and other diseases. However, emerging evidence suggest that MDSCs may also support anti-tumor immune responses under certain conditions or may inhibit tumor growth.

Dispersal, individual phenotype, and phenotypic plasticity
2001Abstract We examine the role of phenotypic plasticity (genetically controlled response to the environment) in dispersal decisions from two perspectives. Specifically, we examine the alternatives ‘to stay’ or ‘to go’ from the standpoint of the offspring and the maternal parent.
