Limits to phenotypic plasticity: flow effects on barnacle feeding appendages.

The Biological bulletin - 1 Jun 2004

Li Natasha K, Denny Mark W

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity, the capacity of a given genotype to produce differing morphologies in response to the environment, is widespread among marine organisms (1). For example, acorn barnacles feed by extending specialized appendages (the cirral legs) into flow, and the length of the cirri is plastic: the higher the velocity, the shorter the feeding legs (2,3). However, this effect has been explored only for...
