Abstract excerpt
Insects represent 85% of the animals. They have adapted to many environments and play a major role in ecosystems. Many insect species exhibit phenotypic plasticity. We here report on the mechanisms involved in phenotypic plasticity of different insects (aphids, migratory locust, map butterfly, honeybee) and also on the nutritional size plasticity in Drosophila and the plasticity of the wing eye-spots of the...
