Developmental plasticity in Protea as an evolutionary response to environmental clines in the Cape Floristic Region.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Carlson Jane E, Holsinger Kent E

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation along steep environmental gradients likely contributes to plant diversity in the Cape Region of South Africa, yet existing analyses of trait divergence are limited to static measurements of functional traits rather than trajectories of individual development. We explore whether five taxa of evergreen shrubs (Protea section Exsertae) differ in their developmental trajectories and capacity for...
