Intraspecific Responses of Seedlings of Three Vachellia Species to Simulated Browsing Reflect Adaptive Traits of Older Life Stages

ABSTRACT Intraspecific variation in adaptation to herbivory has been studied in juvenile (sapling) and adult (reproductive) stages of woody species in African savannas, but has not been studied at the early seedling stage. We hypothesized that, among Vachellia species commonly occurring in African s...
