Plant architecture: a dynamic, multilevel and comprehensive approach to plant form, structure and ontogeny. (2007, background): “…in the understanding of community and stand structure, functioning and production has been stressed by several authors (Givnish, 1984; King, 1998; Diggle, 1999, 2002; Huber et al., 1999; Alpert and Simms, 2002; Novoplansky, 2002; Wright et al., 2002; Oborny, 2004; Sachs, 2004; Damascos et al.,…”
The control of developmental phase transitions in plants (2011, background): “It can, thus, be difficult to distinguish genetically determined ontogenetic changes from those that occur due to plasticity (Diggle, 2002).”
Re-evaluating the costs and limits of adaptive phenotypic plasticity (2010, background): “Other limits of plasticity, such as the lag-time or epiphenotype limits, have been studied from a developmental perspective (Diggle 2002) and continue to be challenging concepts to understand mechanistically.”
