Genetic covariance structure of growth in the salamander Ambystoma macrodactylum.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2004

Ragland G J, Carter P A

Abstract excerpt

The size of an organism at any point during ontogeny often has fitness consequences through either direct selection on size or through selection on size-related morphological, performance, or life history traits. However, the evolutionary response to selection on size across ontogeny (a growth trajectory) may be limited by genetic correlations across ages. Here we characterize the phenotypic and genetic...
