Partitioning the phenotypic and genetic variances of reaction norms by de Villemereuil, Pierre, Chevin, Luis-Miguel

“…Many traits show plastic phenotypic variation across environments, captured by their norms of reaction. These reaction norms may be discrete or continuous, and can substantially vary in shape across organisms and traits, making it difficult to compare amounts and types of plasticity among (or even within) studies. …”
