Abstract:The timing of different life history events are often correlated, and
selection might only rarely be exerted independently on the timing of a
single event. In plants, phenotypic selection has often been shown to
favour earlier flowering. However, little is known about to what extent
this selection acts directly vs. indirectly via vegetative phenology,
and if selection on the two traits is correlational. We estimated
direct, indirect and correlational phenotypic selection on vegetative
and reproductive phenolog… Show more
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.
