Climate explains population divergence in drought-induced plasticity of functional traits and gene expression in a South African Protea.

Abstract excerpt

Long-term environmental variation often drives local adaptation and leads to trait differentiation across populations. Additionally, when traits change in an environment-dependent way through phenotypic plasticity, the genetic variation underlying plasticity will also be under selection. These processes could create a landscape of differentiation across populations in traits and their plasticity. Here, we...
