Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the presence of a below-ground neighbour alter within-plant seed size distribution in Phaseolus vulgaris?
Answer: Below-ground neighbour presence affects within-plant seed size distribution in P. vulgaris. This effect appears to be non-resource-mediated, i.e. to be independent of neighbour-induced effects on resource availability. It implies that, based on current environmental cues, plants can make an anticipatory adjustment of their investment strategy in offspring as an adaptation to the local environment in the future.
Output (English): yes
