Plasticity matches phenotype to local conditions despite genetic homogeneity across 13 snake populations.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 27 Jan 2021

Bonnet Xavier, Brischoux François, Briand Marine, Shine Richard

Abstract excerpt

In a widespread species, a matching of phenotypic traits to local environmental optima is generally attributed to site-specific adaptation. However, the same matching can occur via adaptive plasticity, without requiring genetic differences among populations. Adult sea kraits (Laticauda saintgironsi) are highly philopatric to small islands, but the entire population within the Neo-Caledonian Lagoon is genetically...
