Between-population differences in the genetic and maternal components of body mass in roe deer

Between-population differences in the genetic and maternal components of body mass in roe deer

Abstract Background Understanding the genetic and environmental mechanisms governing variation in morphology or phenology in wild populations is currently an important challenge. While there is a general consensus that selection is stronger under stressful conditions, it remains unclear whether the...
