Abstract excerpt
Populations of the terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans) around Eagle Lake in California exhibit dramatic ecotypic differentiation in life history, colouration and morphology across distances as small as a few kilometres. We assayed the role of selection in ecotypic differentiation in T. elegans using F(ST)-Q(ST) analysis and identified selective agents using direct and indirect observations. We extended...
