Evidence of adaptive divergence in plasticity: density- and site-dependent selection on shade-avoidance responses in Impatiens capensis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2000

Donohue K, Messiqua D, Pyle E H, Heschel M S, Schmitt J

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the conditions under which plastic responses to density are adaptive in natural populations of Impatiens capensis and determined whether plasticity has evolved differently in different selective environments. Previous studies showed that a population that evolved in a sunny site e...
