Temperature-dependent physiological and behavioral responses that affect organism fitness and population dynamics

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

Effects of non-native species on native community members and ecosystem processes

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

The process by which traits influence fitness, measured through directional and quadratic selection differentials relating trait values to reproductive success

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

The mechanism by which organisms measure day and night length to regulate seasonal activities like diapause

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
