Genetic architecture of a feeding adaptation: garter snake (Thamnophis) resistance to tetrodotoxin bearing prey.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2010

Feldman Chris R, Brodie Edmund D, Brodie Edmund D, Pfrender Michael E

Abstract excerpt

Detailing the genetic basis of adaptive variation in natural populations is a first step towards understanding the process of adaptive evolution, yet few ecologically relevant traits have been characterized at the genetic level in wild populations. Traits that mediate coevolutionary interactions between species are ideal for studying adaptation because of the intensity of selection and the well-characterized...
