Hormone-mediated suites as adaptations and evolutionary constraints.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 May 2008

McGlothlin Joel W, Ketterson Ellen D

Abstract excerpt

Hormones mediate the expression of suites of correlated traits and hence may act both to facilitate and constrain adaptive evolution. Selection on one trait within a hormone-mediated suite may, for example, lead to a change in the strength of the hormone signal, causing either beneficial or detri...
