Environmental Variability and Phenotypic Flexibility in Plants (Illinois)
… will possess a greater ability to respond phenotypically to this variability than genotypes within species or populations that have evolved in habitats with less environmental variability. The phenotypic response quantified in this thesis is phenotypic flexibility, the growth advantage …

Towards an understanding of seasonal ecophysiology in north-temperate fish
… (iv) motivate individuals to express coordinated phenotypic flexibility across multiple organ systems and populations? First, in Ch. 2, I used existing data from field and experimental studies on pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) to investigate how early spring warming affects the …

The influence of spatiotemporal variation in ambient temperature on the ecology and physiology of birds
… tests a secondary prediction of the CVH – that flexibility of thermoregulatory traits should increase with temperature seasonality. To test this prediction, I used flow-through respirometry to measure seasonal flexibility in five thermoregulatory traits [body mass (Mb), mass-adjusted basal …
