Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an individual organism to alter its physiology/
morphology in response to changes in environmental conditions. This ability is particularly …

Intelligence is not a term commonly used when plants are discussed. However, I believe that
this is an omission based not on a true assessment of the ability of plants to compute …

The long history of reciprocal transplant studies testing the hypothesis of local adaptation
has shown that populations are often adapted to their local environments. Yet many studies …

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

1 In laboratory microcosm experiments, co-occurring plant species were found to support
very different rates of sporulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These differences …

Geographic variation can lead to the evolution of different local varieties, even in
widespread forage plants. We investigated the performance of common forage plants in …

Fitness is a vague, poorly developed concept in ecology and evolutionary biology. Although
it is generally recognized that fitness is determined by the complete survival and …

Summary 1 We studied reproduction and offspring performance in relation to population size
in the declining self‐incompatible perennials Primula veris and Gentiana lutea. In both …

In each of two reciprocal cross‐infection experiments, a digenetic trematode (Microphallus
sp.) was found to be significantly more infective to snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) from …
