EEB 122 - Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior
Lecture 08 - The Expression of Variation: Reaction Norms. Reaction norms depict the range of phenotypes a single genotype can produce, depending on the environment. Reaction norms must fit within an organism's phylogenetic constraints. They can differ for different individuals within a population, but some traits differ very little based on the environment; some do not differ at all. (from oyc.yale.edu)
