Abstract excerpt
After environmental change, the trait evolution needed to rescue a population depends on the functional form of the plastic change (reaction norm) of that trait. Nearly all previous models of plasticity evolution for continuous traits have assumed that the functional form is linear, that is, no limits on the range of plasticity. This paper examines the effect of developmental limits, modeled as a sigmoidal...
