The Genetic Basis of Adaptation following Plastic Changes in Coloration in a Novel Environment

Phenotypic plasticity has been hypothesized to precede and facilitate adaptation to novel environments [1–8], but examples of plasticity preceding adaptation in wild populations are rare (but see [9, 10]). We studied a population of side-blotched lizards, Uta stansburiana, living on a lava flow that...
