- Abstract
The article focuses on a research conducted in order to identify the effects of ambient temperature in shaping life-history in three female morphs of the polymorphic blue-tailed damselfly, Ischnura elegans. It discusses the relationship between thermal plasticity and polymorphism. The study revealed the occurrence of significant thermal plasticity in both hatching time and egg survival between both temperature treatments.
