ABSTRACT The evolution of behavioral flexibility is typically modeled using niche breadth theory, reaction norms, optimal foraging, and bet-hedging. These frameworks capture much of the variance in when plasticity evolves, yet three mechanisms remain under-formalized. H1 (Tail structure): Standard plasticity models parameterize environmental variability by mean, variance, and autocorrelation; they rarely treat extreme events as having independent structure. We formalize a di
