Experimental tests for heritable morphological color plasticity in non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations.

The success of invasive species is frequently attributed to phenotypic plasticity, which facilitates persistence in novel environments. Here we report on experimental tests to determine whether the intensity of cryptic coloration patterns in a global invader (brown trout, Salmo trutta) was primarily...
