When a genotype produces different phenotypes under differing environmental conditions

Consumption of plant material by animals, measured as browse occurrence on host plants

The ability of organisms to adjust to changing climatic conditions through genetic, phenotypic, or behavioral changes

The formation of new species involves divergence of phenotypes and development of reproductive isolation, where initial divergence results from divergent natural selection and reproductive isolation a...

The selection of specific plants by female insects for egg-laying that affects larval survival and development

Movement of genes between populations through migration and reproduction

Selection that maintains multiple alleles in a population at frequencies above those expected from mutation alone

Reciprocal antagonism between plant hormone pathways where jasmonic acid suppresses salicylic acid pathway and vice versa

Plant ability to produce new volatile organic compounds or change other chemical characteristics when damaged, with these chemicals communicating damage to other parts of the same plant and other plan...

How plant population density affects individual plant growth, morphology, and susceptibility to herbivory through competition and resource availability

Biochemical pathway producing anthocyanin pigments responsible for purple coloration

Selection pressure from non-biological environmental factors such as rain or wind

Oxygen-containing reactive molecules with considerable environmental importance due to their high reactivity in mediating redox transformations
