Candidate genes under selection in song sparrows co-vary with climate and body mass in support of Bergmann’s Rule
Abstract Ecogeographic rules denote spatial patterns in phenotype and environment that may reflect local adaptation as well as a species’ capacity to adapt to change. To identify genes underlying Bergmann’s Rule, which posits that spatial correlations of body mass and temperature reflect natural sel...
