Quantitative genetics of plastron shape in slider turtles (Trachemys scripta).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2006

Myers Erin M, Janzen Fredric J, Adams Dean C, Tucker John K

Abstract excerpt

Shape variation is widespread in nature and embodies both a response to and a source for evolution and natural selection. To detect patterns of shape evolution, one must assess the quantitative genetic underpinnings of shape variation as well as the selective environment that the organisms have e...
