Title | Costs, benefits and inducible defences: a case study with Daphnia pulex |
Creator | Hammill, Edd Rogers, A. Beckerman, A. P. |
Description | Phenotypic plasticity is one major source of variation in natural populations. Inducible defences, which can be considered threshold traits, are a form of plasticity that generates ecological and evolutionary consequences. A simple cost–benefit model underpins the maintenance and evolution of these threshold, inducible traits. In this model, a rank-order switch in expected fitness, defined by costs and benefits of induction between defended and undefended morphs, predicts the risk level at... |
