Natural quantitative genetic variance in plant growth differs in response to ecologically relevant temperature heterogeneity
Abstract Adaptation to large‐scale spatial heterogeneity in the environment accounts for a major proportion of genetic diversity within species. Theory predicts the erosion of adaptive genetic variation on a within‐population level, but considerable genetic diversity is often found locally. Genetic...
