AbstractSpecies can modify their traits in response to changes in the environment -- a process known as phenotypic plasticity. Because species traits can plastically respond to competition, the competitive effect of one individual on another involves not only reductions in performance, but also changes in morphology, behavior, phenology or physiology that affect interactions with other individuals.
