Even models which seem to be devoted to narrow microeconomic allocation problems may turn out to be quite relevant, and some models are addressing issues already salient in political philosophy.
Energetic limitations dictate that the same resources cannot be allocated simultaneously to multiple organs, while phylogenetic limitations appear to dictate that a single plant has limited plasticity in shifting allocation that is, plant species are hardwired to a narrow range of allocation strategies (Reynolds and D'Antonio 1996; Müller et al. 2000; Craine and Dybzinski 2013).
