Do seasonal changes in developmental temperature have season-specific fitness consequences in a lizard
Meeting Abstract 124-3 Thursday, Jan. 7 14:00 Do seasonal changes in developmental temperature have season-specific fitness consequences in a lizard? PEARSON, PR*; WARNER, DA; Auburn University; Auburn University prp0005@auburn.edu Rapidly changing environmental conditions can reduce the fitness value of a phenotype. Phenotypic plasticity can solve this problem by enabling individuals to quickly develop phenotypes that are suited […]
