Reciprocal transplants support a plasticity-first scenario during colonisation of a large hyposaline basin by a marine macro alga
Abstract Background Establishing populations in ecologically marginal habitats may require substantial phenotypic changes that come about through phenotypic plasticity, local adaptation, or both. West-Eberhard’s “plasticity-first” model suggests that plasticity allows for rapid colonisation of a new...
