Beyond cyanogenesis: Temperature gradients drive environmental adaptation in North American white clover (Trifolium repens L.).

Abstract excerpt

Species that repeatedly evolve phenotypic clines across environmental gradients have been highlighted as ideal systems for characterizing the genomic basis of local environmental adaptation. However, few studies have assessed the importance of observed phenotypic clines for local adaptation: conspicuous traits that vary clinally may not necessarily be the most critical in determining local fitness. The present...
