... that certain egg-brooding behaviors (i.e. postural adjustments) are more energetically costly to females than other behaviors (i.e. tight coiling). In sum, we provide empirical support for the adaptive plasticity of python egg-brooding behavior, which offers insight into the general significance of female-only...

...Matthew J. Ravosa; Ravinder Kunwar; Stuart R. Stock; M. Sharon Stack SUMMARY Excessive, repetitive and altered loading have been implicated in the initiation of a series of soft- and hard-tissue responses or `functional adaptations' of masticatory and locomotor elements. Such adaptive plasticity...

... increase in both the average `innate' (or `constitutive' or `intrinsic') heat tolerance(A) and a shift in the average plasticity of individuals (B) such that, on average, they become more heat tolerant when exposed (acutely) to high temperatures. This constitutes the evolution of adaptive plasticity. See...
