Novel resilience in response to revitalisation after exposure to lethal salinity causes differential reproductive success in an extremely plastic organism
Phenotypic plasticity is central to an organism’s ability to adapt to variable environmental conditions. For aquatic organisms, exposure to elevated salt levels poses a challenge and organisms may fail to tolerate or survive much higher levels short-term. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, in...
