Phenotypic plasticity in two marine snails: constraints superseding life history.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2006

Hollander J, Collyer M L, Adams D C, Johannesson K

Abstract excerpt

In organisms encountering predictable environments, fixed development is expected, whereas in organisms that cannot predict their future environment, phenotypic plasticity would be optimal to increase local adaptation. To test this prediction we experimentally compared phenotypic plasticity in two rocky-shore snail species; Littorina saxatilis releasing miniature snails on the shore, and Littorina littorea...
