Phenotypic plasticity of desiccation resistance in Glossina puparia: are there ecotype constraints on acclimation responses?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Aug 2009

Terblanche J S, Kleynhans E

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to cope with environmental variation and may aid in the evolution of novel traits. However, whether phenotypic plasticity is beneficial, or if acclimation responses might be constrained to particular ecotypes is generally poorly explored. Here we test the beneficial acclimation hypothesis (BAH) and its alternatives for desiccation resistance to atmospheric moisture in mesic-...
