Wave-induced changes in seaweed toughness entail plastic modifications in snail traits maintaining consumption efficacy: Commentary on Molis et al. 2015.

The author comments on the research "Wave-induced changes in seaweed toughness entail plastic modifications in snail traits maintaining consumption efficacy" by M. Molis and others, published within the issue. Topics include effect of wave exposure on the phenotypically plastic trait of seaweed tissue in Fucus vesiculosus, abiotically mediated phenotypic plasticity cascades in other species for abiotic factors, and role of abiotic factors in finding type and strength of community interactions.
