Constitutive and inducible defensive traits in co-occurring marine snails distributed across a vertical rocky intertidal gradient

2011-02-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Among-species differences in the expression of constitutive and plastic traits may shape species distributions within a community. For many systems, the relationships among individual species' phenotypes, particularly morphological plasticity, and performance and distribution are poorly understood. 2. I tested whether three co-occurring species of marine snails in the genus Nucella differed in their constitutiv...
