Physiological mechanisms of adaptive developmental plasticity in Rana temporaria island populations

In particular, developmental plasticity allows organisms with complex life cycles to adaptively adjust the timing of ontogenetic switch points. Size at and time to metamorphosis are reliable fitne...
