Phenotypic Plasticity and the Origins of Diversity
Abstract
Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes, ...Read More

Phenotypic plasticity driven by larval diet influences key reproductive traits in BSF, including adult body size, fecundity and sperm length, and interacts with heritable variation to shape evolutionary potential.
“Phenotypic plasticity (West- Eberhard 1989) driven by larval diet influences key reproductive traits in BSF, including adult body size, fecundity and sperm length, that also interacts with heritable variation to shape evolutionary potential (Gobbi et al. 2013; Shrestha et al. 2025; Zhang and Puniamoorthy 2025).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
