Phenotypic and dispersal plasticity are not alternative strategies for organisms to face thermal changes.

Abstract excerpt

To buffer the effects of local environmental changes, organisms may modify their phenotypic traits (i.e. phenotypic plasticity) or disperse towards other potential habitats (i.e. dispersal plasticity). Despite extensive work studying either 'local phenotypic plasticity' or 'dispersal plasticity' independently, little is known about their potential covariation and interplay. These strategies are classically viewed...
