MIGRATION STOPOVERS AND THE CONSERVATION OF ARCTIC-BREEDING CALIDRIDINE SANDPIPERS (2006, background): “Physiological or phenotypic fl exibility, such as modifi cations of digestive organs in response to migratory periods, has been explored in detail and appears to be common to most long-distance avian migrants (Piersma and Drent 2003).”
Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “This phenomenon, termed phenotypic plasticity, has been particularly well documented and modeled for life histories of insects and amphibians (for recent review, see Bayne and Honkoop, 2003; Piersma and Drent, 2003, Pigliucci, 2005).”
Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “1995; Piersma and Drent 2003; Young and Badyaev 2007).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, background): “Thus we hypothesize that organisms from poorly predictable environments should exhibit more phenotypic flexibility than organisms from highly predictable environments (Hau 2001, Piersma & Drent 2003, Dawson 2008).”
Sources and significance of variation in basal, summit and maximal metabolic rates in birds (2010, background): “In contrast, almost nothing is known about the influence of non-reversible developmental plasticity (Piersma and Drent, 2003) on avian BMR, although it is tempting to speculate that the differences in BMR scaling between wild-caught and captive-raised birds arise in part from developmental factors (”
The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change (2014, background): “of phenotypic plasticity is found in most trees (Piersma and Drent, 2003; Rehfeldt et al., 2001; Valladares et al., 2005), but var-”
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, background): “reversible phenotypic change) with development ANOVA (plasticity × flexibility interaction; Piersma & Drent, 2003 ) 1113 Estimation of phenotypic plasticity”
Intraspecific variation in avian pectoral muscle mass: constraints on maintaining manoeuvrability with increasing body mass (2007, background): “Flying animals are predicted to adaptively and reversibly change the mass of most body parts, a phenomenon called phenotypic flexibility (Piersma & Lindstrom 1997; Piersma & Drent 2003 ).”
What are you actually measuring? A review of techniques that integrate the stress response on distinct time‐scales (2020, background): “The fourth category— phenotypic flexibility—refers to changes that occur in response to predictable stimuli, including circadian or circannual rhythms (Piersma & Drent, 2003).”
Regulation of Migration (2007, background): “…repeating cycles of life history stages, each providing adaptation to environmental conditions at specific times of year and specialized for processes such as migration, molt, and breeding (phenotypic flexibility; Piersma 1998, Jacobs and Wingfield 2000, Piersma and Drent 2003, Wingfield 2004).”
Between-individual differences in behavioural plasticity within populations: causes and consequences (2013, background): “Environmental conditions can have a range of effects on the phenotype, spanning from short to long term (e.g. Piersma & Drent 2003).”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “Individual adjustment may be reversible or irreversible and may or may not be genetically fixed (Piersma and Drent, 2003), in which case it may respond to selection (Pigliucci, 2001; Scheiner, 2002).”
