Acknowledgements We thank Zhi-Yun Jia for inviting us to submit this paper to a special column on phenotypic plasticity. Three anonymous reviewers provided valuable commentary that encouraged us to improve this work. We also wish to ac- knowledge the long term funding for plasticity research pro- vided by the U.S. National Science Foundation to DP, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Can- ada to BR. Finally, collaboration on this specific project was directly supported through a short-term fellowship to BR by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center （NESCent
funded by NSF #EF-0905606）.
