Phenotypic integration does not constrain phenotypic plasticity: differential plasticity of traits is associated to their integration across environments

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
Understanding constraints to phenotypic plasticity is key given its role on the response of organisms to environmental change. It has been suggested that phenotypic integration, the structure of trait covariation, could limit trait plasticity.

Phenotypic Plasticity, Costs of Phenotypes, and Costs of Plasticity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
Why are some traits constitutive and others inducible? The termcostsoften appears in work addressing this issue but may be ambiguously defined. This review distinguishes two conceptually distinct types of costs: phenotypic costs and plasticity costs.

Costs of Phenotypic Plasticity

The American Naturalist, 2002
Phenotypically 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.

Phenotypic Plasticity

Science, 2004
Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is the range and process of variation in body plan and physiology. This book pulls together recent theoretical advances in phenotypic plasticity, as influenced by evolution and development. The editors and the chapter authors are among the leaders of this exciting and active subfield. The volume begins with
