Geographical patterns of phenotypic variation can be useful for understanding underlying patterns of adaptive evolution and, therefore, for understanding the process of ecological speciation (Arnold, 1983;Mayr, 1963;Van Valen, 1965). Within a species, variation between populations may be driven by adaptive evolution under different selection regimes in regions with different environmen-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
