Abstract excerpt
Experimental biologists use reciprocal transplant experiments (RTEs) involving divergent forms to test hypotheses about fitness trade-offs across, and local adaptation to, native environments. Additional evolutionary hypotheses about diversifying selection, the evolution of specialization, and the coexistence of specialists and generalists are only testable when the RTE also includes intermediate (or...
