Leaf damage decreases fitness and constrains phenotypic plasticity to drought of a perennial herb

Mediterranean-type ecosystems are increasingly prone to drought stress. Herbivory might limit plant functional responses to water shortage. This may occur as a result of plant resource depletion or due to the fact that leaf damage and drought may elicit o
