Variation in the genetic architecture of ecologically relevant traits along elevational gradients.

Abstract excerpt

Species are confined within spatial boundaries that are likely shaped by multiple factors. One understudied factor is the genetic non-independence of traits, which can constrain the adaptive potential. We tested this hypothesis on elevational gradients, where environmental conditions change over short geographic distances. We collected seeds of three montane and three alpine Brassicaceae species, each from its...
