Ecological and developmental context of natural selection: maternal effects and thermally induced plasticity in the frog Bombina orientalis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2006

Kaplan Robert H, Phillips Patrick C

Abstract excerpt

Variation in fitness generated by differences in functional performance can often be traced to morphological variation among individuals within natural populations. However, morphological variation itself is strongly influenced by environmental factors (e.g., temperature) and maternal effects (e.g., variation in egg size). Understanding the full ecological context of individual variation and natural selection...
