Phenotypic plasticity promotes species coexistence
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022Ecological explanations for species coexistence assume that species' traits, and therefore the differences between species, are fixed on short timescales. However, species' traits are not fixed, but can instead change rapidly as a consequence of phenotypic plasticity.

Global trends in phenotypic plasticity of plants.
Ecology Letters, 2021Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of phenotypic plasticity in plants. Theory predicts that climatic variability

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

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, Costs of Phenotypes, and Costs of Plasticity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Why 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 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 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 ...

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.

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 hypothesis.
2018Abstract The phenotypic plasticity hypothesis - or, in short, plasticity hypothesis - posits that invasive species are more phenotypically plastic than non-invasive or native ones. On the basis of a systematic review, we identified 115 relevant empirical tests of the plasticity hypothesis.
