The evolution of phenotypic plasticity in response to anthropogenic disturbance (2010, background): “In the second case, the direction of plasticity might be adaptive but its expression is more costly in the new environment, such that the fitness costs now outweigh the benefits of plasticity (DeWitt, 1998; DeWitt et al., 1998; Weinig and Delph, 2001; Langerhans and DeWitt, 2002; Relyea, 2002; Relye”
Predator-prey naïveté, antipredator behavior, and the ecology of predator invasions (2010, background): “Although these prey will respond to an invasive predatory fi sh, they are also likely to unnecessarily avoid non-predatory fi sh (Langerhans and DeWitt 2002).”
Patterns of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in the wide elevation range of the alpine plant Arabis alpina (2018, background): “This mechanism is quicker than local adaptation, but its maintenance is assumed to be associated with costs (DeWitt et al., 1998; Van Buskirk & Steiner, 2009) and it can sometimes be maladaptive (Langerhans & DeWitt, 2002; Ghalambor et al., 2007).”
Multiple prey traits, multiple predators: keys to understanding complex community dynamics (2003, background): “Also, recent studies suggest that plastic changes in morphology and life history are important in creating trait-mediated indirect effects (Chase, 1999; Raimondi et al., 2000; Relyea, 2000; Agrawal, 2001; Langerhans and DeWitt, 2002 ).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “Although prey using these cues should respond to exotic predatory fish, they might also respond unnecessarily to nonpredatory fish (Langerhans and DeWitt 2002).”
Underappreciated Consequences of Phenotypic Plasticity for Ecological Speciation (2012, background): “Empirical tests for costs of plasticity itself are rare [83], but it is conceivable that some pathways might have inherent tradeoffs between efficiency and plasticity [84, 85], and adaptive plasticity probably always comes with some potential for error; that is, the best developmental “decision” mig”
