Quantitative assessment of the importance of phenotypic plasticity in adaptation to climate change in wild bird populations
Predictions about the fate of species or populations under climate change scenarios typically neglect adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity, the two major mechanisms by which organisms can adapt to changing local conditions. As a consequence, we have little understanding of the scope for orga...
