What is Plant Responses to Herbivory and Competition about?

This document summarizes a study that examined how natural selection acts on the phenotypic plasticity of plants in response to both competition and herbivory. The study found that competition induced stem elongation in plants, while both competition and herbivory increased levels of plant resistance. Three distinct plant phenotypes were defined based on combinations of plastic responses: vigorous, elongated, and resistant. The ecological context determined which phenotype was favored by selection. Vigorous
