Phenotypic plasticity shapes carry-over effects in sea rock-pool mosquitoes.

Abstract excerpt

Environmental conditions during early life can shape trait expression after metamorphosis. Direct carry-over effects occur when the value of a trait expressed at an early stage directly determines its expression at later stages, maintaining phenotypic continuity across metamorphosis. However, environmental factors affect multiple traits whose interaction might shape developmental trajectories. Here, we tested...
