Nothing as it seems: behavioural plasticity appears correlated with morphology and colour, but is not in a Neotropical tadpole.

In response to environmental stressors, organisms often demonstrate flexible responses in morphology, life history or behaviour. However, it is currently unclear if such plastic responses are coordinated or operate independently of one another. In vertebrates, this may partly result from studies examining population- or species-level mean responses, as opposed to finer grained analyses of individuals or families.
