Phenotypic Plasticity, Costs of Phenotypes, and Costs of Plasticity

open access: yesAnnals 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.

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.

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

Insight into phenotypic plasticity in planthoppers

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2023
Planthoppers possess an impressive ability to exhibit phenotypic plasticity, which allows them to adjust their morphology for migration, overwintering, and adaptation to different environmental conditions. The wing and color polyphenism are the two most outward morphologies.

Phenotypic plasticity

2018
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

2023
Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity of a single genotype to produce a variety of phenotypes under different environmental conditions. The response of a genotype to a particular environmental factor is called its “norm of reaction.” Some norms of reaction reflect unavoidable consequences of adverse situations, like the progressive stunting of fish ...

Phenotypic Plasticity

2001
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, 2016
Ecologists 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.
