Abstract excerpt
The study of adaptive genetic variation in natural populations is central to evolutionary biology. Quantitative genetics methods, however, are hardly applicable to long-lived organisms, and current knowledge on adaptive genetic variation in wild plants mostly refers to annuals and short-lived perennials. Studies on long-lived species are essential to explore possible life-history correlates of genetic variation,...
