Experimentally replicated disruptive selection on performance traits in a Caribbean lizard.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2008

Calsbeek Ryan, Smith Thomas B

Abstract excerpt

A central theme underlying studies of adaptive radiation is that ecologically mediated selection drives diversification. However, demonstrating the ecological basis of natural selection and linking this process to patterns of morphological diversity represents a formidable challenge. This is because selection experiments that test correlations between an organism's phenotype and its ecology are difficult to...
