Why study plasticity in multiple traits? New hypotheses for how phenotypically plastic traits interact during development and selection.

Abstract excerpt

Organisms can often respond adaptively to a change in their environment through phenotypic plasticity in multiple traits, a phenomenon termed as multivariate plasticity. These different plastic responses could interact and affect each other's development as well as selection on each other, but the causes and consequences of these interactions have received relatively little attention. Here, we propose a new...
