Fig. 1.

Intelligence schedule of predator–prey relationships in individual plants. The figure summarizes a main sequence of predation through to survival probability. In laboratory conditions, adaptability involves only the sequence perception to responses. Above the main sequence are real-world conditions with the additional inputs of accuracies of perception, previous experiences, assessment and responses which undoubtedly vary between individuals. There is also a feedback system of information flow from responses back to perception to modulate and assess the continued predation and subsequent response. The blocks below the main sequence are suggested constituents of each step. These lists are indicants only and are not exhaustive. Intelligent behaviour covers the range from predators to survival probability and does need real-world circumstances for its demonstration of improved survival probability amongst competition.
