Maladaptive plasticity facilitates evolution of thermal tolerance during an experimental range shift
Abstract Background Many organisms are responding to climate change with dramatic range shifts, involving plastic and genetic changes to cope with novel climate regimes found at higher latitudes. Using experimental lineages of the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, we simulated the initial phase...
