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

How important are functional and developmental constraints on phenotypic evolution? An empirical test with the stomatal anatomy of flowering plants
Functional and developmental constraints on phenotypic variation may cause traits to covary
over millions of years and slow populations from reaching their adaptive optima …

[PDF][PDF] Developmental integration cannot explain major features of stomatal anatomical evolution in seed plants
Developmental integration can cause traits to covary over macroevolutionary time and in
some cases prevent populations from reaching their adaptive optima. Developmental …
