Explaining intraspecific diversity in plant secondary metabolites in an ecological context
Plant secondary metabolites (PSM s) are ubiquitous in plants and play many ecological
roles. Each compound can vary in presence and/or quantity, and the composition of the …

Unifying individual differences in personality, predictability and plasticity: a practical guide
Organisms use labile traits to respond to different conditions over short time‐scales. When a
population experiences the same conditions, we might expect all individuals to adjust their …
