Abstract excerpt
Organisms show phenotypic plasticity--the capacity for a given genotype to express different phenotypes--in response to changes in the environment. Among the several factors that can cause phenotypic plasticity, nutritional constraints during development can affect the size of organisms and, consequently, affect most life-history traits, including reproductive traits. As their larvae are restricted by the amount...
