Life history evolution, species differences, and phenotypic plasticity in hemiparasitic eyebrights (Euphrasia).

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: Species delimitation in parasitic organisms is challenging because traits used to identify species are often plastic and vary depending on the host. Here, we use species from a recent radiation of generalist hemiparasitic Euphrasia to investigate trait variation and trait plasticity. We tested whether Euphrasia species show reliable trait differences, investigated whether these differences correspond to...
