Plasticity, instability and canalization : is the phenotypic variation in seedlings of sclerophyll oaks consistent with the environmental unpredictability of Mediterranean ecosystems?
• Evergreen oaks from the Mediterranean basin exhibit a conservative resource-use strategy based on a reduced expression of phenotypic variation (i.e. canalization). We hypothesized that genetic variation across closely related species is more canalized than the response to environmental variation...
