Abstract
Conclusions: (1) Differences in life-history and metabolic traits among populations mimic the natural pattern of latitudinal variation in a cold environment, where offspring size and reproductive output increase towards higher latitudes and metabolic rate increases towards lower latitudes. (2) There is genetic variation for plasticity in response to the environment, which may be acted upon by natural selection. (3) Our results support the hypothesis that phenotypic plasticity itself is an adaptive response to environmental heterogeneity.
