Phenotypic plasticity is the range and process of variation in body plan and physiology. This book pulls together recent theoretical advances in phenotypic plasticity, as influenced by evolution and development.Reviews
"This book brings a comprehensive and present summary of phenotypic plasticity that will be good for those who are already close to this field as well for those who want to start."--Folia Geobotanica
"...DeWitt and Scheiner's volume provides a useful summary of current work and future directions for the field. As such, it should be on the shelf of evolutionary ecologists, whatever their specialty (genetics, physiology, endocrinology, or behavior). The editors admit that the field is in a phase of logarithmic increase (chap. 13), with much work yet to be done. I am sure the book will recruit more researchers to plasticity research. Many chapters in the volume are excellent, and must-read material for both established scientists and new students of plasticity. -- Bioscience
