- Authors
Peckarsky, Barbara L.; Taylor, Brad W.; McIntosh, Angus R.; McPeek, Mark A.; Lytle, David A.
- Abstract
Measures and explains large-scale spatial and temporal patterns of phenotypic variation is size at metamorphosis of the mayfly, Baetis bicaudatus, from habitats with variable levels of predation risk. Failure of resource or algae standing stock, competitor densities or physical-chemical variable to explain patterns of spatial variation in mayfly size; Observation of adaptive phenotypic plasticity.
