Constraints on the evolution of adaptive plasticity : costs of plasticity to density are expressed in segregating progenies

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a genotype to express different phenotypes across environments, is an adaptive strategy expected to evolve in heterogeneous environments. One widely held hypothesis is that the evolutionary benefits of plasticity are reduced by its costs, but when compared with...
