Variation in heritability of tadpole growth: an experimental analysis.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2002

Uller T, Olsson M, Ståhlberg F

Abstract excerpt

Heritability characteristically shows large variation between traits, among populations and species, and through time. One of the reasons for this is its dependence on gene frequencies and how these are altered by selection and drift through the evolutionary process. We studied variation in heritability of tadpole growth rate in populations of the Swedish common frog, Rana temporaria. In populations evolving...
