Phenotypic plasticity meets and moulds carry-over effects in sea rock-pool mosquitoes Open
Environmental conditions experienced during early-life can shape trait expression after metamorphosis. Direct carry-over effects occur when the value of a trait expressed at an early stage directly determines its expression at later stages…

Behavioural variation in background colour matching and the effect of social environment in rock-pool mosquitoes Open
Several animal species conceal themselves from potential predators by actively choosing environmental patches that best match body colouration and chromatic patterns. Growing evidence shows that a variety of contexts and conditions can aff…

Sex-biased phenotypic plasticity affects sexual dimorphism patterns under changing environmental conditions Open
Sexual dimorphism is almost ubiquitous in animals. A common pattern observed across multiple taxa involves differences in development time (sexual bimaturism) and body size (sexual size dimorphism) between conspecific males and females. Fu…
