By ''phenotypic plasticity'' we refer to the capacity of a genotype to exhibit different phenotypes, whether in the same or in different environments. We have previously demonstrated that phenotypic plasticity can improve the degree of adaptation achieved via natural selection (Behera & Nanjundiah,
Although numerous studies have indicated that diapause is heritable and phenotypically plastic, none of them has examined the quantitative genetic basis of this plasticity. In this paper we report such an analysis for egg diapause in the cricket Allonemobius socius, the induction of which appears to
