| environmental correlates of geographic divergence in a phenotypic trait: a case study using bat echolocation. | divergence in phenotypic traits may arise from the interaction of different evolutionary forces, including different kinds of selection (e.g., ecological), genetic drift, and phenotypic plasticity. sensory systems play an important role in survival and reproduction, and divergent selection on such systems may result in lineage diversification. such diversification could be largely influenced by selection in different environments as a result of isolation by environment (ibe). we investigated thi ... | 2017 | 28944021 |
