Grow with the flow: a latitudinal cline in physiology is associated with more variable precipitation in Erythranthe cardinalis.

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation is commonly observed in nature: organisms perform well in their natal environment, but poorly outside it. Correlations between traits and latitude, or latitudinal clines, are among the most common pieces of evidence for local adaptation, but identifying the traits under selection and the selective agents is challenging. Here, we investigated a latitudinal cline in growth and photosynthesis across...
