Stage- & Sex-Specific Plasticity

Reproductive success is often highly sensitive to environmental conditions. For instance, in holometabolous insects that have discrete life stages (egg-larva-pupa-adult), early developmental conditions can have delayed or sex-specific effects on adult reproductive investment. By integrating controlled laboratory experiments with population-level sampling, we can examine how plastic responses interact with genetic variation to shape fitness outcomes.​
