Correlations of Genotype with Climate Parameters Suggest Caenorhabditis elegans Niche Adaptations.

Abstract excerpt

Species inhabit a variety of environmental niches, and the adaptation to a particular niche is often controlled by genetic factors, including gene-by-environment interactions. The genes that vary in order to regulate the ability to colonize a niche are often difficult to identify, especially in the context of complex ecological systems and in experimentally uncontrolled natural environments. Quantitative genetic...
