An experimental test of the causes of small-scale phenotypic differentiation in a population of great tits.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2006

Shapiro B J, Garant D, Wilkin T A, Sheldon B C

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic differentiation between populations is thought to occur mainly at spatial scales where gene-flow is restricted and selection regimes differ. However, if gene flow is nonrandom, dispersal may reinforce, rather than counteract, evolutionary differentiation, meaning that differences occurring over small scales might have a genetic basis. The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of differences...
