Abstract excerpt
The slender wild oat (Avena barbata) was widely studied in California using allozymes in the 1970s and interpreted as a case of ecotypic adaptation to contrasting moisture environments. However, common garden studies suggested that the moist-associated ("mesic") ecotype had high fitness in both moist and dry habitats, thus predicting an adaptive spread into areas occupied by the dry associated ("xeric") ecotype....
