Drift in individual behavioral phenotype as a strategy for unpredictable worlds.

Abstract excerpt

Individuals, even with matched genetics and environment, show substantial phenotypic variability. This variability may be part of a bet-hedging strategy, where populations express a range of phenotypes to ensure survival in unpredictable environments. In addition, phenotypic variability between individuals ('bet-hedging'), individuals also show variability in their phenotype across time, even absent external...
