Local adaptation with high gene flow: temperature parameters drive adaptation to altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria).

Abstract excerpt

Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to understanding the effect of environmental variation on populations. Identifying the selective pressures that drive divergence is an important, but often lacking, next step. High gene flow between high- and low-altitude common...
