Interactions between behavioral and life-history trade-offs in the evolution of integrated predator-defense plasticity.

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2010

Cressler Clayton E, King Aaron A, Werner Earl E

Abstract excerpt

Inducible defense, which is phenotypic plasticity in traits that affect predation risk, is taxonomically widespread and has been shown to have important ecological consequences. However, it remains unclear what factors promote the evolution of qualitatively different defense strategies and when evolution should favor strategies that involve modification of multiple traits. Previous theory suggests that...
