When field experiments yield unexpected results: lessons learned from measuring selection in White Sands lizards.
Determining the adaptive significance of phenotypic traits is key for understanding evolution and diversification in natural populations. However, evolutionary biologists have an incomplete understanding of how specific traits affect fitness in most populations. The White Sands system provides an op...
