The double-edged sword of inducible defences: costs and benefits of maladaptive switching from the individual to the community level.

Scientific reports - 20 Jun 2022

Kath Nadja J, Gaedke Ursula, van Velzen Ellen

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity can increase individual fitness when environmental conditions change over time. Inducible defences are a striking example, allowing species to react to fluctuating predation pressure by only expressing their costly defended phenotype under high predation risk. Previous theoretical investigations have focused on how this affects predator-prey dynamics, but the impact on competitive outcomes...
