Phenotypic clines, plasticity, and morphological trade-offs in an intertidal snail.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2000

Trussell G C

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic and environmental bases of phenotypic variation and how they covary on local and broad geographic scales is an important goal of evolutionary ecology. Such information can shed light on how organisms adapt to different and changing environments and how life-history trade-offs arise. Surveys of phenotypic variation in 25 Littorina obtusata populations across an approximately 400-km...
