Adaptive phenotypic differentiation across the intertidal gradient in the alga Silvetia compressa.

Abstract excerpt

Populations of intertidal species span a steep environmental gradient driven by differences in emersion time. In spite of strong differential selection on traits related to this gradient, the small spatial scale over which differences occur may prevent local adaptation, and instead may favor a si...
