Fitness variation and local distribution limits in an annual plant population.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how genetic variation shapes species' distributions involves examining how variation is distributed across a species' range as well as how it responds to underlying environmental heterogeneity. We examined patterns of fitness variation across the local distribution of an annual composite (Lasthenia fremontii) spanning a small-scale inundation gradient in a California vernal pool wetland. Using seeds...
