Resource instability undermines predictable plasticity‐mediated morphological responses to diet in a postglacial fish
J. Peter Koene,

Abstract:Phenotypic plasticity has been presented as a potential rapid‐response mechanism with which organisms may confront swift environmental change and increasing instability. Among the many difficulties potentially facing freshwater fishes in recently glaciated ecosystems is that of invertebrate prey communities becoming significantly altered in species composition and relative abundance. To test how the rapidity of diet resource change may affect phenotypic responses during development, we subjected juvenile brown… Show more
