Abstract excerpt
Understanding pleiotropic architectures of phenotypes is instrumental for identifying the functional basis of adaptive genetic variation in the wild. Life-history variation may have a morphological basis that mediates resource acquisition allocation pathways, but identifying the underlying genetic basis of such traits is challenging. Using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) juveniles reared in common garden...
