Selection often operates not directly on phenotypic traits but on performance which is important as several traits may contribute to a single performance measure (many-to-one mapping). Although largely ignored in the context of selection, this asks for studies that link all relevant phenotypes with performance and fitness. In an enclosure experiment, we studied links between phenotypic traits, swimming...
