Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity between sea ribbons (Octocorallia: pterogorgia) and Flamingo tongue snail (Cyphoma gibbosum)

Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an important factor in the evolutionary history of octocorals, as a response induced by abiotic factors of the environment. However, the biotic factors, such as predation by gastropod mollusks, have not been taken into account as triggered factors of phenot...
