Fitness costs may explain the post-colonisation erosion of phenotypic plasticity.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Mar 2010

Aubret F, Shine R

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms can adjust their phenotypes to match local environmental conditions via shifts in developmental trajectories, rather than relying on changes in gene frequencies wrought by natural selection. Adaptive developmental plasticity confers obvious benefits in terms of rapid response and h...
