Latitudinal patterns in phenotypic plasticity: the case of seasonal flexibility in lizards' fat body size.

Abstract excerpt

Several studies published over the last years suggest that the ability of many species to cope with global change will be closely related to the current amount of plasticity for fitness-related traits. Thus, disentangling general patterns in phenotypic flexibility, which could be then included in models aimed to predict changes in species distribution, represent a central goal in the current ecological agenda....
