Facultative release from developmental constraints through polyphenism promotes adaptively flexible maturation

The timing of maturation, a critical fitness determinant, is influenced by developmental and energetic constraints, particularly when growth is poor in adverse conditions. Such constraints can be altered through developmental plasticity. Thus, in theory, plasticity in energetically costly sexually s...
