Book Details
Table of Contents
Introduction
Which traits vary within plants?
Many different features vary across reiterated structures of the same plant
Continuous within-plant variation of reiterated structures
The extent of subindividual variation in continuously varying leaf, flower, fruit, and seed traits is assessed
Distribution of subindividual variability in time and space
How are variants of reiterated structures organized along temporal, spatial, and architectural axes?
Causes of subindividual variability
Mutations within individuals and organ-level responses to environmental cues are the main classes of remote causes of within-plant variability in reiterated structures
Organismal mechanisms of subindividual variability
Ontogenetic contingency, the interplay between inherent architecture and environmental milieu, and developmental stochasticity are mechanisms responsible for within-plant variability of reiterated structures
Subindividual variability as an individual property
The Haldane-Roy conjecture is verified and extended: individual plants have not only their characteristic means, but also their characteristic standard deviations and characteristic spatial patterns of within-plant variation
Consequences of within-plant variation for interacting animals
Phytophagous animals' adiscrimination among organs of the same plant can lead to the most profitable choice but has attendant costs that may influence their overall performance and promote among-plant selectivity
Fitness consequences of subindividual variability in organ traits for plants
Subindividual variation in the characteristics of reiterated organs may influence the fecundity or vegetative performance of plants, and through this mechanism individual fitness differences may arise as a consequence of variation in the extent and organization of variability
Evolutionary implications of within-plant variability in organ traits
Subindividual multiplicity of organs can affect the evolutionary trajectory of organ traits by setting upper limits on responses to selection, opening the possibility of selection by animals on plant-level variability, and conditioning the size of realized phenotypic space at the individual and population levels.
