Abstract excerpt
Modern evolutionary theory predicts that integrated phenotypes, including interacting fitness-related complex traits such as behaviour, physiology and morphology, jointly influence animal performance. However, studies have examined these aspects of biology independently in relation to fitness. We investigated how phenotypic characteristics collectively affect overwinter survival in a wild population of...
