NEW PERSPECTIVES. “The fact that plants can recognize the shape of their neighbors and rearrange their leaf position in consequence is novel and very exciting. It could be a cooperative or an altruistic behavior in a species where populations are viscous, the other mechanism described by Hamilton (1964) allowing for kin selection, that is, where dispersal is rare enough for neighbors in a population to be closely related.”
