The heritability of inducible defenses in tadpoles.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2005

Relyea R A

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of plastic traits requires phenotypic trade-offs and heritable traits, yet the latter requirement has received little attention, especially for predator-induced traits. Using a half-sib design, I examined the narrow-sense heritability of predator-induced behaviour, morphology, and life history in larval wood frogs (Rana sylvatica). Many of the traits had significant additive genetic variation in...
