表型可塑性可能是适应性的关键决定因素。可塑性表达的适应性程度取决于环境状态信息整合的准确性。当环境，例如社会和性环境迅速变化时，这一步骤可能特别有益。波动的时间动态可能会增加确定塑性反应的适当表达水平的难度。在这篇综述中，我们认为，新的见解塑料的社会和性环境（社会和生殖可塑性）的反应可能会获得通过检查复杂的线索（包括多个，不同的感官组件）的作用。这些线索可以使个人更准确地监测他们的环境，以便在整个生命过程中适应它。我们简要回顾了复杂线索进化的假设，然后将这些想法适应社会和性可塑性的背景。我们认为，感知复杂线索的能力可以促进可塑性，增加相关的健身效益和降低风险的昂贵的表型和环境之间的“不匹配”（i）增加从高度可变的环境中获得的信息的鲁棒性，（ii）微调响应通过使用多股信息和（iii）减少适应性反应的时间滞后。最后，我们概述了未来的研究领域，这将有助于确定复杂的线索和可塑性之间的相互作用。
Phenotypic plasticity can be a key determinant of fitness. The degree to which the expression of plasticity is adaptive relies upon the accuracy with which information about the state of the environment is integrated. This step might be particularly beneficial when environments, e.g. the social and sexual context, change rapidly. Fluctuating temporal dynamics could increase the difficulty of determining the appropriate level of expression of a plastic response. In this review, we suggest that new insights into plastic responses to the social and sexual environment (social and reproductive plasticity) may be gained by examining the role of complex cues (those comprising multiple, distinct sensory components). Such cues can enable individuals to more accurately monitor their environment in order to respond adaptively to it across the whole life course. We briefly review the hypotheses for the evolution of complex cues and then adapt these ideas to the context of social and sexual plasticity. We propose that the ability to perceive complex cues can facilitate plasticity, increase the associated fitness benefits and decrease the risk of costly ‘mismatches’ between phenotype and environment by (i) increasing the robustness of information gained from highly variable environments, (ii) fine-tuning responses by using multiple strands of information and (iii) reducing time lags in adaptive responses. We conclude by outlining areas for future research that will help to determine the interplay between complex cues and plasticity.
