Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Phenotypic plasticity is realized through a complex cascade initiated by some kind of environmental challenge, which is indicated by a reliable cue. This cue has to be perceived by the organism through a distinct sensory system, and the signal has to be neuronally integrated to change developmental trajectories of effector sites.
