Abstract | Plant species adapt to changing environmental conditions through phenotypic plasticity and natural selection. Agrawal et al. (2018) found that dandelions responded to the presence of insect pests by producing higher levels of defensive compounds. This defensive response resulted both from phenotypic plasticity, with individual plants’ defenses triggered by insect attack, and from evolution by natural selection acting on genetic variation in the plant population. |
