Heritability, covariation and natural selection on 24 traits of common evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) from a field experiment.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

This study explored genetic variation and co-variation in multiple functional plant traits. Our goal was to characterize selection, heritabilities and genetic correlations among different types of traits to gain insight into the evolutionary ecology of plant populations and their interactions with insect herbivores. In a field experiment, we detected significant heritable variation for each of 24 traits of...
