Phenotypic plasticity in developmental rate is insufficient to offset high tadpole mortality in rapidly drying ponds
Abstract Habitat suitability is strongly regulated by seasonal conditions and stochastic processes, and this is especially important in temporary aquatic systems that contain organisms with complex life cycles. We investigated the potential for phenotypic plasticity in timing of and size at metamorp...
