Life history as a constraint on plasticity: developmental timing is correlated with phenotypic variation in birds

Understanding why organisms vary in developmental plasticity has implications for predicting population responses to changing environments and the maintenance of intraspecific variation. The epiphenotype hypothesis posits that the timing of development can constrain plasticity—the earlier alternate...
