Modality matters for the expression of inducible defenses: introducing a concept of predator modality.

BMC biology - 18 Nov 2013

Herzog Quirin, Laforsch Christian

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inducible defenses are a common and widespread form of phenotypic plasticity. A fundamental factor driving their evolution is an unpredictable and heterogeneous predation pressure. This heterogeneity is often used synonymously to quantitative changes in predation risk, depending on the abundance and impact of predators. However, differences in 'modality', that is, the qualitative aspect of natural...
