Endocrine Flexibility: Optimizing Phenotypes in a Dynamic World?

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Jun 2016

Taff Conor C, Vitousek Maren N

Abstract excerpt

Responding appropriately to changing conditions is crucial in dynamic environments. Individual variation in the flexibility of physiological mediators of phenotype may influence the capacity to mount an integrated response to unpredictable changes in social or ecological context. We propose here a conceptual framework of rapid endocrine flexibility that integrates ecological endocrinology with theoretical and...
