Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity : bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications
TL;DR: An alternative approach to quantify PP based on phenotypic distances among individuals of a given species exposed to different environments is summarized in a relative distance plasticity index (RDPI) that allows for statistical comparisons of PP between species (or populations within species).
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of seedlings of Mediterranean woody species under experimental gradients of irradiance and water availability: trade-offs and evidence for niche differentiation.
TL;DR: Evidence is found of some of the trade-offs previously reported for non-Mediterranean plant communities, such as between survival in the shade and relative growth rate (RGR) at high light, but no evidence for others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinhibition and drought in Mediterranean woody saplings: scaling effects and interactions in sun and shade phenotypes
TL;DR: Interacting effects of high light and drought on the performance of sun and shade phenotypes were experimentally undertaken following survival, chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange in 2-year-old saplings of four Mediterranean trees, allowing extended survival and drought tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in leaf ecophysiological traits of 13 contrasting cork oak populations under different water availabilities
José Alberto Ramírez-Valiente,David Sánchez-Gómez,Ismael Aranda,Fernando Valladares,Fernando Valladares +4 more
TL;DR: The study supports the adaptive value of SLA and LS for cork oak under a Mediterranean climate and their potentially important role for dealing with varying temperature and rainfall regimes through both local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf palmate venation and vascular redundancy confer tolerance of hydraulic disruption.
Lawren Sack,Elisabeth M. Dietrich,Christopher M. Streeter,David Sánchez-Gómez,N. Michele Holbrook +4 more
TL;DR: Findings point to a hydraulic explanation for the diversification of low-order vein architecture and the commonness of reticulate, hierarchical leaf venation and suggest roles for both economic constraints and risk tolerance in shaping leaf morphology during 130 million years of flowering plant evolution.
