The paradox of plasticity

When should thermal plasticity evolve, and does it actually help ectotherms cope with variable climates?

← All research

Can organisms evolve fast enough to keep up with changing climates? Other Theoretical models

The question

Plasticity is often assumed to buffer organisms against climate change, but it may be limited, and not even favored, in some environments.

Approach

To be completed.
