Experimental Evidence for the Adaptive Evolution of Growth Rate in the Garter Snake Thamnophis elegans
The western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans) varies significantly in individual growth rates and life-history traits (maturation, reproduction, and survival) among adjacent populations in nature. This study focuses on assessing the genetic and environmental components of the substantial...
