Digest: On the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to adaptation in desert environments.

Abstract excerpt

How do organisms adapt to new environments, and what role does phenotypic plasticity play? Bittner et al. compared water consumption in laboratory-reared house mice derived from xeric and mesic populations and found evidence for adaptive phenotypic plasticity as well as genetic differences between populations.
