Abstract excerpt
The evolution of plant defenses has traditionally been studied at single plant ontogenetic stages, overlooking the fact that natural selection acts continuously on organisms along their development, and that the adaptive value of phenotypes can change along ontogeny. We exposed 20 replicated genotypes of Turnera velutina to field conditions to evaluate whether the targets of natural selection on different...
