CD Muir, MÀ Conesa, J Galmés… - The American …, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
Quantifying the relative contribution of functional and developmental constraints on
phenotypic variation is a long-standing goal of macroevolution, but it is often difficult to …

Admixture mapping and selection scans identify genomic regions associated with stomatal patterning and disease resistance in hybrid poplars

KC Fetter, SR Keller - Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Variation in fitness components can be linked in some cases to variation in key traits. Metric
traits that lie at the intersection of development, defense, and ecological interactions may be …
