Abstract

Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic pressures on the individual, species and community levels. (i) We discuss how plasticity can affect individuals, populations and community dynamics and how climate change can alter the role of plasticity. We hypothesise that some pathways to phenotypic plasticity such as irreversible and anticipatory organismal responses will be reduced under increasing climate change. (ii) We then propose an integrated conceptual framework for studying phenotypic plasticity to advance our understanding of the feedbacks between the different levels of biological organisation. (iii) By formulating as yet unaddressed research questions within and across levels of biological organisation, we aim to instigate new research on phenotypic plasticity and its role in climate change responses.

气候变化响应的可塑性。

最近的研究表明，气候变化可以诱导和调节可塑性性状的表达，但我们对表型可塑性作为对气候变化的适应性反应的作用的理解有限。在这篇综述中，我们剖析了表型可塑性在个体、物种和群落水平上作为对累积气候压力的响应的机制和影响。(i)我们讨论了可塑性如何影响个体、种群和社区动态，以及气候变化如何改变可塑性的作用。我们假设，在气候变化加剧的情况下，一些表型可塑性的途径，如不可逆和预期的有机体反应，将会减少。（ii）然后，我们提出了一个研究表型可塑性的综合概念框架，以促进我们对不同生物组织水平之间反馈的理解。（iii）通过在生物组织内部和跨层次阐述尚未解决的研究问题，我们的目标是激发对表型可塑性及其在气候变化响应中的作用的新研究。

期刊介绍： Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
