Abstract excerpt
The form, magnitude and temporal dynamics of selection on phenotypic plasticity will fundamentally shape eco-evolutionary responses to environmental variation, but such attributes have not been fully conceptualized or quantified in nature. We provide a general framework that conceptualizes the dynamics of selection on phenotypic plasticity in labile dichotomous traits, which commonly shape behaviour and life...
