Genes, Morphology, Performance, and Fitness: Quantifying Organismal Performance to Understand Adaptive Evolution.

Integrative and comparative biology - 15 Sept 2023

Matthews David G, Dial Terry R, Lauder George V

Abstract excerpt

To understand the complexities of morphological evolution, we must understand the relationships between genes, morphology, performance, and fitness in complex traits. Genomicists have made tremendous progress in finding the genetic basis of many phenotypes, including a myriad of morphological characters. Similarly, field biologists have greatly advanced our understanding of the relationship between performance...
