On strategies of plant behaviour: evolutionary games of habitat selection, defence, and foraging

摘要

Background: Strategies of habitat selection, defence, and foraging depend critically on population density and the frequency of alternative strategies: they are evolutionary games. Although commonly modelled in studies of animal behaviour, they are less frequently used to provide insights into the behaviour of plants. A 'review' and analysis of how these universal strategies apply to plants should help motivate further development of plant evolutionary games.
