Constraints on the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity in plants.

The New phytologist - 1 Apr 2005

van Kleunen Mark, Fischer Markus

Abstract excerpt

The high potential fitness benefit of phenotypic plasticity tempts us to expect phenotypic plasticity as a frequent adaptation to environmental heterogeneity. Examples of proven adaptive plasticity in plants, however, are scarce and most plastic responses actually may be 'passive' rather than adaptive. This suggests that frequently requirements for the evolution of adaptive plasticity are not met or that such...
