Dynamics of production of sexual forms in aphids: theoretical and experimental evidence for adaptive "coin-flipping" plasticity.

Abstract excerpt

The best strategy for an organism to deal with unpredictable environmental conditions is a stochastic one, but it is not easy to distinguish it from nonadaptive randomness in phenotype production, and its convincing demonstrations are lacking. Here we describe a new method for detection of adaptive stochastic polyphenism and apply it to the following problem. In fall, each female of the bird cherry-oat aphid,...
