Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in timing of metamorphosis in the common frog Rana temporaria

• Unpredictable environments are expected to select for adaptive plasticity in traits enabling adjustment of phenotype to prevailing environmental conditions. Common frogs (Rana temporaria) breed frequently in ponds, which dry up before the aquatic larvae h
