Phenotypic plasticity in evolutionary rescue experiments

While such experiments have rarely been performed so far in the context of plasticity interacting with ER, we argue below that (i) all the conceptual tools are available and (ii) many model organisms are adequate for such studies. To argue our point, we start by briefly defining the concepts of plas ...
