How plastic can phenotypic plasticity be? The branching coral Stylophora pistillata as a model system.

PloS one - 25 Jul 2007

Shaish Lee, Abelson Avigdor, Rinkevich Baruch

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity enables multicellular organisms to adjust morphologies and various life history traits to variable environmental challenges. Here, we elucidate fixed and plastic architectural rules for colony astogeny in multiple types of colonial ramets, propagated by cutting from genets o...
